It could be like a peanut worm is what one might be. About the clear ones,

. The peanut worms weren't anything bad. Do you have any pics that would help us immensely. Or possibly a bristle worm. Check the FAQ Archive section to check the hitchhiker thread.

When I salvaged my Cube 14, the Trates/Phates were through the roof and there were bristleworms everywhere.
If you have ALOT of filter-feeding worms, chances are you are still cycling, or your trates are high.
As your tank gets established and parameters balance out, the populations will diminish, I promise. I would not worry if I were you.
