I hate to be the one who says this...
Are you kidding? I can't even say for sure it's something alive, let alone that it's a worm. Try netting it and put it in a shallow bowl and the take some photos or a video.

It’s definitely swimming in my tank. Alive.

It could just be the water moving that makes it look like it is swimming.
To me it looks like it's getting blown around.

Both videos do not work for me. Try posting on you tube and link it

Cant open video but typical worm that swims would be a dorvilledae worm

This Youtube link should show worm. My camera had a hard time focusing on it, but you can see that it IS alive, contrary to all above comments

Is that good or bad?

In your second video I see its alive. They way it moved in the first made it look like it was just being moved by the current.
