Hard to tell for sure since it's so blurry, but they don't look bad. If you can get a better photo it would help to confirm.

I'd be willing to guess its a type of planaria or flatworm. If you want to remove them, I'd recommend siphoning out the visible ones and cut down on feeding. If you broadcast feed, try target feeding for a while. You may have an excess of nutrients, allowing them to thrive.

I have the same worms at least that's what I think, mine come out at night. I'm still trying to ID them. Last night was the first time I noticed them. Hundreds of them, on the glass swimming and wiggling all over. Let me know if you find out anything and I'll do the same.
