Thanks for reaching out. These appear to be Camallanus worms which are not parasitic but feed on detritus in the tank. Probably brought in by a live plant or invertebrate. Check water quality and correct any concerns. Siphoning the substrate might help decrease worm numbers. If additional concerns, a veterinary visit might be needed. Good luck.
