critters in my tank

Question
i have noticed a lot of small critters in the bottom of my saltwater tank  im not sure if they are bristleworms or not they appear to have legs and are very small and are clear to white in color does this sound like a bristleworm?

Answer
Hi Theresa,

It doesn't sound like a bristle worm, perhaps they are flat worms or peanut worms, which are harmless. There is also a chance they could be copepods or amphipods which are great to have in the aquarium, and will contribute to the balance of the ecosystem in your aquarium.
