After a water change yesterday I noticed these little worms on my glass. This morning there's even more of them. Does anyone have any idea what they are? Sorry for the poor picture/video quality. They're very tiny and it's difficult to focus my camera on them. PXL_20210323_141144635.MP.jpg

May be detritus worms but hard to tell as pic is extremely blue. Please post pic under white lighting
 
Here's a video and a picture under white light. Thank you for trying to ID it.

I have very similar worms all over my glass. Only appearing at night. If someone can help to identify them that would be great. If they are harmful, please let us know how to get rid of them.
Got into this saltwater aquarium hobby several months ago and still learning

I think my worms were detritus worms. They didn't have a head or legs like that one does. I'm not going claim I can ID it because I've never seen that before in person, but it looks similar to a bobbit worm. Maybe someone else can give you a more concrete ID.

I will recommend if you haven't been dipping your corals that you should start! But you've probably already heard that advice before. The amount of creepy crawlies that come off when I dip is sometimes shocking.
