Hey y’all. So I went at night to check on the tank as I think some of my hermits were getting busy, and I caught a GLIMPSE of red worm looking thing under the substrate. I did some digging around the area and found about 3, which worries me because that means many. I scoured Google and this forum, but they don’t really look like any common worm I see.

They are red/brown, smooth bodied, don’t look to be hobbit worms as I don’t see pincers, and incredibly fast diggers as I couldn’t catch one. I attached a video (don’t mind the breathing I had to hold the flashlight in my mouth).

Kinda looks like a small bristle worm to me but I could be wrong

Yea that’s what I was thinking based off of looking around on here. The smooth body threw me off though because all the ones posted have those feather things on the side
 
Third one I was able to dig up. Not a great editor so can be seen at start of video, then again at 1:30 into it.

Wanted to bump this up, maybe some of the morning people know what this is?
