I just decided to clean my skimmer. And when I do I unscrew everything

when I took off the I don’t know how to call it part that acts like a lock for the skimmer tube. I found this worm tucked in the bottom of it. I flicked the plastic on top of some towel paper and the worm fell out. the plastic still had some debris. Possibly more of these worms. They look like a leech worms in tiny but a drop lighter.

Looks kinda like a fat little Detritus or Planaria worm to me. I think the planaria has more of a triangle head. I’m no worm expert here though lol
