Not sure where to post this so I will try here as well...
 
Cannot get a picture they are to small for the camera to pick-up.....
 
I was looking at my Live Rock earlier and noticed something funny / strange.  Crawling along it (or out of it in another case) was what looks like a worm of some sort...
 
It looks like angel hair pasta - Thin and white / clear - It has one end tucked into a crevace in the rock and is streatching with it's other end (assuming the mouth end) - It seems to be eating (or at least streatching - FORGIVE MY SPELLING - thinking not typing... towards my green hair algae) maybe even eating it... 
 
There are a few of them, they are various sizes - a couple are even sliding across the rock, not tucked in .....
 
With this poor description anyone have any idea ?  I'd rather not have to kill them as they are part of the eco-system - But if they are bad I need to know so I can possibly try and control them..
 
Any help would be great....  Thanks in advance

Look up a spagetti worm.

There is a worm called a spagetti worm.  Does it have a lot of tentacle coming from one spot?  These worms have really thin, but long tentacles that wander out of its hole to find food.
 
They are a good thing in your aquarium.  They feed on detritus and leftover food.
