I have seen two of these worms come out of my overflows. Not sure if there are more of them, but if I see these same two, I can only imagine there are more.

I have bristleworms, but from what I have seen from them, and when I compare it to these things, they are nothing alike. Like I said, they come out of my overflow slits, and crawl around a bit, then right back in they go.

Can anyone tell me what this is and if it's good or bad?

Here is a 13 second video

Dorvilleidae I believe.

AlSimmons - that looks exactly like what it is........I will try to get more video or clearer pictures to confirm. But I'm going with a match.

thank you!
