Spaghetti worms are greyish not red.

I know what worms you are referring to, and they are common, and harmless. I can't ever remember their name though. They are thin like thread right?

Spaghetti worms come in MANY colours.
I have grey, orange, pink, red and black ones in my tank.
I dug them up, they are all the same.
