Worms In My Tank

[lordofthesea]

My new red clawed crab tank has an infestation of these strange worms. theyare about 1centimetre long and are segmented whitish transluscent. they appear to live in the substrate and stick to the glass and wrigle when the swin are they anything to be concerned about? how do I get rid of them without harming my crabs?

could be planaria? from over feeding. I had some once and I stopped feeding the fish and they ate the worms

Planaria aren't segmented, though. Not sure what they could be, but it definitely doesn't sound like planaria.

do more water changes and gravel cleans, and reduce the food going into the tank. When the excess food is gone the worms will go.
