I'm so glad you got pictures of them, they show up in my tank every once in awhile.

i am pretty sure they are baby bristle worms after studying them, but wanted everyone's opinion..

I've never seem bristle worms that can walk on the glass, though. Maybe the adults can't, or chose not to.

Very erratic swimming, like a night crawler in water
