Yours seem to be smoother ... wonder if it's some form of nematode / roundworm?

Im pretty sure that it is detritus worm. Nothing to wory about. They are over populated possibly from over feeding or you stired up gravel.

Im pretty sure this is detritus worm. Come out if over feeding or disturbed gravel occurrs.
