Yet unknown which species this is, my current bets go out to the following three:
Microprotula sp.
Bispira sp. 01 - Fan worm
Bispira trcyiclia - Tube Worm

Anyone any idea?

Made a picture of one of them now. At least one in which it shows a bit, they are very small and are still mainly hidden between rocks.

Still unsure which species it is

Its the Bispira viola, found it on the forums I'm a member of

The little fan worms don’t come out of their shell much anymore. Hopefully new ones will show after rebuilding, because they will probably be damages by the whole process.

The fan worms are hard to preserve, they are everywhere, my hope is that they will reappear after the rebuilding and show better then they did before.

Seen a lot of tubes, but dont think anyone is home still. We will see how this evolves, going to give it some time before I close the topic

Well, dont think they will return any time soon, too bad. Going to close the topic

Small fan worms are reappearing everywhere, I love the sight of them

The aquarium also begins to fill up with Fan Worms again, more seems to show them selves every day. Since the first rebuild we lost many of them, then we had another outbreak of algae killing any of them that came up but now everything is steady again.
