Brislte worms are free swimming in one of their growth stages, and match your description pretty well. And I only see them at night.

Could be the larval stage of a bristol worm known as the Epitoke stage.
OK..OK yes I learned it from BAng GUy

They will tend to eat surface algea and are fine, adult bristle worms will are a great part of the cleanup crew, eating fish waiste and uneaten food or dead animals. I am only concerned when they get quite large like 12 inches.
