They're not bristle worms, which I unfortunatly also have... but seem to be a whitish color. Are they good? Bad? Will they harm any fish or anemone? No coral in the tank right now... EEK!

But yes, they do help eat up bits and move around some of the sand... a little off topic, and nope, I don't know what these catapillers are... try taking a photo and post it if you can.
