I have noticed that all over my tank i have been getting these little tube like things all over my sand as well as they may be on rocks, they are made of sand in which comes out a little clear worm type creature, im wondering what they are and where did they come from. i do have a six line wrasse that doesnt seem to eat them obviously but what are they and are they good or bad.
 
some type of worm, a detrivore.. Like a peanut worm, harmless... I have a bunch in all my tanks
 
yea they're harmless but very unsightly remove the carbon from your filters and bump the temp up to 87 degrees add some salt and for me a splash of meala fix solve the problem good luck
 
Do they look like those things that the SWAT team uses to see through holes? Harmless filter feeders and beneficial in large amounts.
 
how about a picture??? maybe play with the macro setting on your camera;)
