Perhaps nematodes or round worms. Not a good thing likely paracites. Ick cure should kill them.

You might google planaria, they are harmless and are often found in new or overfed tanks.

maybe its time for a tank clean

I've been told that sometimes, tiny worm like things will appear in new and over fed tanks, they come up from the gravel as the oxygen is low and they begin to work their magic of decomposing dead bacterium within the tank.
