I've got several of the worm looking inverts that are stuck to my glass. They are all white and coiled up and are very small - the biggest one is 1/16" and has antennae looking things coming out of his top.

Any ideas of what they are? I can't take a pic of them as they are too small, but they are multiplying and nothing in my tank will eat them.

LOL if they are stuck on your glass, white, and coiled, with "antennae" - as you say - protruding, LOL they are not worms man - ok well technically they are, but they are better known as feather dusters, or - if you are lucky, tube worms, which are really cool. There are fish that will eat them, but leave them alone and let them grow, the can come in a variety of colors depending on the species - purple, orange, red, pink, brown, white, and so on. Leave em be.
 
i would have to agree with the Feather Duster prognosis as well.. seen ALOT of them in my tanks
 
hmmmm lol i'm a noob....i thought feather duster worms lived in the rock and pop up and down lol....enlighten me
