I've had many experiences with these white worms in my several of my vivariums. I've personally seen them wipe out large pumilio egg massess within days, even after tadpole development had begun. Yes, these worms are good decomposers and are part of a healthy ecosystem, but they are also opportunistic feeders. Eggs are a nice, soft, inanimate protein source that they will take advantage of if given the opportunity. I've given up trying to eradicate them, and have only learned to live with them. I try to "beat" them to the punch by removing the eggs before they get to them. I also keep the tanks a little drier now, and that helps slow down their mobility significantly. Anyway, that's my experience with these little nuissances. Hope this helps!
