That's a spaghetti worm, totally harmless and beneficial. They eat left over foods and poop.

Look like Cirratulid Worms to me. AKA Hair Worms.

Are hair worms bad, Bang?

You're going to have to sterilize the tank. I recommend a 50% solution of hydrochloric acid. Be careful because this stuff will eat through the silicon, the tank stand, the cement in the foundation and the granite under the house. It might be a good idea to let the neighbors know before you start. They may become alarmed as your house folds in upon itself before evaporating into a cloud of steam.
Oh, the worms are beneficial. Even more beneficial than Spaghetti Worms because they consume detritus from above AND below the sand.
