Vacant reef tank suddenly full of worms

[tinytanya7]

My tank was taken down by a parasite, and after losing all my fish, I let it sit for a few months.

No, I’m looking to get back in. I need to do some major maintenance.

As I am beginning to clean and replace the water, I’ve noticed my tank is now infested with some strange worms.

Should I attempt to remove them?

one of them is a bristleworm, which is part of the clean up crew, some people like them some dont.

the other is a tube worm which is a harmless filter feeder
