What are these red/pink/maroon-ish worms floating in my whirlpool tub? There's always a spa tab or two in the tub and it's kept covered when not in use.

need pics

How do I attach pics?

You can’t attach a picture to a post, but you can link to one. Upload your picture to a photo sharing site like imgur or Photobucket, then post a link to it here.

Do they look like bloodworms?

I asked this same question a few years ago, maybe this will help.

I don’t know if this helps :/

@syz do you think these look like blood worms?
@Coloma do you think it’s similar worms/larvae?

@Neeti The ones I had were tiny little red worms, maybe a half to 1 inch long and thin, like a strand of angel hair pasta. Google aquatic worms and see if you can find a species resembling yours, there are a bunch of them.
The pictures you have look like they are segmented where the ones I found seemed to be just some little species of red aquatic worms that resembled tiny earthworms.

@Coloma so I did some research and I am kinda lost. It could be bloodworms or something else. There’s always a spa tablet or two in the tub to keep it clean. It’s just been pouring these days and I figure the rains got them there :/
The tub stays covered but only God knows how these tiny monsters got in.
Is there a way to keep them away? Do you think they’re dangerous? Also, in the pictures, the darker shapes are like their shell that these tiny worms/larvae wriggled out of. That’s what tells us that the bodies are segmented. Thanks a lot

@Neeti They could be Mayfly larvae or something like that as well, or even mosquito larvae. I doubt they are dangerous, as long as you don’t eat them. lol
Just another little mystery of nature. I never exactly identified the ones in my tub either.

Mildly chlorinated water doesn’t effect a lot of things. I used to have gazillions of little pacific tree frogs that would get under the flaps of the spa cover to stay warm and I had to be really careful to search for them or they would leap into the water and boil themselves alive. One night I went out after heating the hot tub and flipped the cover over and climbed in and a few minutes later a dead frog bubbled up under my chin. haha I wouldn’t worry about it, just drain and clean the spa and keep an eye out.
