Need help on this worm

[Ocean King Corals]

I have a lot of this type worm in tank
strange long, skinny, red worm lot of them hide in sand but some are just floating in the tank at night time.

They could be sand worms, jaw worms or hair worms. There really isn’t a clear cut name without being able to see it under a magnifying glass or microscope.
Ron Schimek has an interesting article about various worms in the marine environment on reefkeeping.com for an interesting read.
Sorry I can’t help out more! I have these worms as well but they seem beneficial.

Are they the spaghetti worm? Or it just something that looks like any idea to kill them?
