possibly this? Oenone fulgida

 

[adan rossell]

yes thank you looks exactly like that!

 

[adan rossell]

but they are very small ill have to wait till they get bigger to remove them all

If they are Oenone fulgida worms then I would remove them asap, they have an appetite for snails.
Great job by 3mm3 for identifying them.
