Im pretty sure its a spaghetti worm. They are harmless but are easily removed if you scoop them out

Oh wow I think you’re right! They seem to multiplied recently. Is it a concern if they keep multiplying?

They multiply based on available food so slow down on feedings or feed smaller amounts.

They're also absolutely amazing scavengers, and incredibly harmless to just about anything bigger than can stick to their little tentacles
