i have these in my tank since i set up my first aquarium.

it has been more than 1.5 yr in my tank already.

no problem with that.

IMHO its safe.

just leave it there

If a man could beat his own fantasy. Then to only breed in captivity. Then its pointless.

Genesis 1:20

And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that has life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

I think they are terebellid worms, the Loimia Medusa species . Not harmful at all, they have an active detritavore lifestyle (consumes detritus) very common in most aquariums. Ideal for DSB and refugiums.
