Hi SEvolution, it’s hard to tell because of image quality, but this looks to be a ton of spiroid worms, is this dry rock or did you get it from your lfs? Spiroid worms are small, harmless filter feeders and you usually start seeing them when your tank finds some stability (I just started seeing lots of them in my 4-5 month old tank). Either way, they’re harmless and not something to worry about. Here is a picture of a spiroid worm so you can cross reference:

Best of luck cycling the tank!

I Have added a video too
 
Are you referring to the white little worms? Those are spirorbid worms. Harmless filter feeders, but can multiple like crazy in a tank. As your tank matures they will eventually die off.
