I believe those are fully grown infusoria.... not harmful & can be a food source.... (imo)

If its the same as what ive got, its planaria.

Annoying, (extremely annoying) but harmless and some fish eat them...

Usually a sign of over feeding, although theyve shown up in my tank during a fishless cycle.

Just keep vaccing your gravel well once a week with your water change and reduce feeding and they should go.
