Red worms in sand

Found my old pocket microscope and thought I'd press it to my glass. Stumbled upon a bunch of these worms roaming between sand grains. Any idea what they are?

Those are spaghetti worms harmless. They help clean up the tank

Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with this worm species (I haven't looked into microscopic or interstitial worm species much yet), but I do know it's neither a spaghetti worm nor a hair worm.

If I had to guess, I'd guess this is a harmless deposit feeder of some variety, but I obviously don't know for sure.

Thanks to all for the attempts at naming these things
