My first id question

[I'd like to post a pic, but these things are tiny...about the size of a pod...

I thought that I had the beginings of hair algae, but upon closer inspection I realized that the dark hairs were alive. they are so small they look like worms, but move like a slug or snail...I looked around, but can't find any pics that even look like them..Just curious as to what they are.

Thanks

[Ok, no luck figuring out what these things are. I don't know how to take a pick of something this small...I might pick up a magnifying glass and try that trick, but until then, I guess the guys will live...

Later

[Ok, since this is an ID thread, here's something else I've been trying to figure out what it is. It's mostly orange with a red tint, and mostly in my substrate, but this "branch" decided to come above the sand

thanks

[looks like one of those worms in my tank that like to make tubes out of sand. Try to see if you can ever see a semi-translucent worm/tenticle extruding form the brach some time.]
 
[I found this on the glass today. I think they are copepods.

[I hope to get a better picture in the future. These were in my son's tank.]
