So my tank is about 4 months old and I am starting to see small white curls everywhere! It's not really a problem and it doesn't bother me... But just wondered what there were?

They may be spirorbid worms. Whatever they are it's a good thing :D Do they look like this up close?

Yeah, just like that. Hard, with an open end that's on the end of the curl.

My personal preference is to encourage as much life as possible. That means I avoid getting fish that would wipe out worm/sponge/pod populations.

Are they the same thing as vermetid snails? Similar?
