I have seen a few of these once in a while when I move a rock or something.. they look balled up and will roll across the sand.. I caught this one and googled it.. looks like a spaghetti or hair room.. any information would be great and if I should track all of them down I see and remove them? @Lionfish Lair or anyone else that may be able to help?

Looks like spaghetti worms from the sites I just checked out. Good for a tank. To many means over feeding. Cut back on feeding if they are popping out of the wood works. I am thinking you don't want to starve a ton all at once, because that will make a lot of die off. Having a good balance of them seems to be key. So normal feed for a bit. Just less of it or target feed if you can. Let them balance out what you can't see.
 
It's actually probably a hair worm. I usually just ID these guys as a spaghetti/hair worm and leave it at that, as sometimes it's really hard to tell the difference in pictures. I. Pretty sure, though, that it's a hair worm.
