So I buy my RODI water from my local Fish shop and today just before making my salt mix I poured the RO water into my mixing tub and noticed a few of these black worms in the water. Does anyone know what they are?

Ahhh the horror! Never seen a worm dark and tiny like that. I’ve fed lizards and fish worms but never those kind!

That's concerning... Never seen anything like that before. If it didn't come from your container then I would say your LFS needs to perform some maintenance on the RO/DI system, more than likely just the filling area, since those wouldn't be getting through an RO membrane.
