Not sure what type worm your talking about, but may be a bristle or peanut. :confused: It may be a new hatching. They won't hurt anything if that is what they are.
I would try to eliminate the bubble algae if you can. I've never had it, but they say it will spread like crazy. By then you may have a real problem.
All I can do right now.

Not if it takes over the tank. I'll do some snooping
Is this the type worm by chance? Bristle / Fire worm?

I'd say its a bunch of bristle worms. I've seen them at 1/4 inch and there were a pile of them. Later on, pick up a rock or two and see if a bunch skurry down into the substrate. (2 weeks).
They are a sign that thinghs may be doing good in your tank.
Couldn't find much else on the algae.
