        Sounds like some kind of small tube worm.
        I ate my fish that died.

            I think I saw a picture on marsh or even here in one of those "what's in my live rock?!" threads. It sounds like a Caribbean rock boring worm. Again a picture is the only way to know. 99% of the time those kinds of worms are harmless.

              Probably a filter feeding worm. But this thread is worthless without pics

                Sounds like worms. They're harmless.

                    Or you can pour in a couple ounces of cat/dog dewormer. It will kill the worms... And maybe more.
