Hello all!
Well, I found one to baffle me again. (And Lonnie, don't say these are the babies of your nasty worm!!!)
I have 4 aquariums...recently set up two from the water of the other two. Today, one of the two new tanks was COVERED in thousands of tiny black worms everywhere...glass, rocks, and eggcrate. They're creepy...like something out of a nightmare.
The tank where the water came from has no signs of these. So, either something is controlling them in the original tank...or these came from somewhere else. I've only put a few fish in the new tank to QT them.
Here are the pictures. Any and all help is appreciated (b/c I'll have nightmares if I put my hand in the tank before then!!)

Looks like a major black round worm infestation They are in the Nematode family of worm . Many wrasses feed on these .. Usually a abundance of food and lack of predators will cause and population explosion like with many other worms .
None of my stuff, heck I'm having my own troubles.
