Tight worms. Are you sure we are not talking about little tube worms? If so, don't worry about them.

I try not to worry too much about worms. Their populations can rise and fall depending on their environment. If these six mystery worms all of a sudden become a few hundred, you could try something like cutting back on feeding your tank or even perfecting your water parameters.
