so i have had my tank up for about 3 months now and there used to be a couple worms in my rocks, i saw them reach out and suck stuff in, i would think they are peanut worms but now coming out of the hole they used to be in are these white things with green hairs.
any idea what they are?

thats about as good a picture as i can get with my camera, (probably got about 100 out of focus ones just to get these.)

Do they look like these?

If so, it is an algae called Neomeris annulata, not usually considered a pest and they tend to disappear as the tank ages
