It's probably planaria worms. You should be able to suck them up with a gravel vac I think; may take several trys. Have they spread all throughout the tank?

Here's an article I found. http/www.aquarticles.com/articles/manage...aria_Worms.html

EDIT: I've never had any personal experience with them. So I really don't know what works. Good luck.

do a forum search for "planaria". Should be harmless.
