Goblin Worm Cluster w Fleshy Body ID Help (Microscope Pics)

Having major issues with critters masquerading as algae and dominating my system (AEFW and roundworms I presume). I thought this was a piece of free-floating algae and grabbed it with my fingers. Any ID/treatment direction would be much appreciated!

Almost looks like some sort of spaghetti worm - if it is, they're good to have around. They reach out with those long tentacles and snare detritus from ... everywhere, just about.
