hi there ive got alot of these kinds of worms in my tank and ive looked on websites and i cannot find them anywhere. but they are an orangy red colour and have spiky looking legs out the side of them. like i say there is a ton of them and i dont know if they are good or bad. any input would be great.

thanks for looking

Sounds like a bristle worm to me

im not going to kill them if i move some into another tank, they are just over running my corals, and i dont know why but 3 fish of mine have died because of somthing in my tank. i thought it was the worms but i guess not.
