hmm a picture would help a lot...

bristle worms are normal, but usually they don't look like "grubs" and you usually can't count 50 of them unless the tank has an unusual amount of them.

Could be flatworms, which are typically a pest and or something you likely don't want in your tank..

how big are they?

yes they do do you know anything about them

I think they are harmless. I used to have alot of them in my old tank.

 

[cilyjr]

reef safe. harmless filter feeders. scrape them if they are in your display if you want

 

[Joel A]

yes, those have "hard shells" correct?

ahh i missed the "curly looking" comment.. kinda rules out flatworms
