So unsure of what there are, but they look maybe like fireworms or bristleworms? They hide under the rocks and the ones in the video are just small ones of those. There are some that are about 3”-4” long, have a good amount of them.

They are kinda hard to see, but they are reddish orange

can you try adding better photos/video? Most of what I can actually see in your video is just the tank seam and the fact that you’re holding a rock and I can’t make anything else out because the camera points everywhere except at the thing you actually want identified

Yeah I will try to pick up the rock with the larger ones today, will be working on the tank again today and try to get a better picture of it

Ok I tried to get a better video, but there weren’t really any worms hiding, only the one that hide right away and the small red one.
