I'm at a losing battle with a wildfire spread of Spriobid worms - all over my glass. I know I got it likely from LFS - I bought snails and corals before from there, and recently I went back and saw that their tanks are massively covered with them. Lesson learn for me is to have a look at the LFS tanks closely and determine if I want to buy from there.
Anyhow, I'm not feeding any reefroids, or any other liquid type of food for the corals, or any frozen food for the fish - I'm told that the number 1 cause of these explosions of Spirobids is a result of having high nutrients in the water. I can say with confidence that most definitely not overfeeding - probably more underfeeding of my 2 clowns, which as well I only feed pellets and only drop a few at a time knowing that they will for sure eat it instead of dropping to the bottom.
So I think I debunk the belief that these worms are a result of high nutrient/overfeeding - their numbers multiplying is contracting the fact.
I don't know if scraping them off the glass will just have them land and spread elsewhere.
