I'm not a worm ID guy, but I can tell you that they're harmless and fairly normal. Could be worms or plenaria. They can be a sign that the tank could use more cleaning or less feeding, otherwise they're just at the start of the biofilter with the snails.

I had one white worm thingy in my 2g betta tank that was inching itself along. made me worried and sick to my stomach when i saw it almost a month ago. i haven't seen it since that fateful morning and i hope nature worked it out and not my betta. he seems fine and nothing else is scary (except for the cyclops that swarm my tank) so i think it might be okay. who knows, maybe its a sign that the tank is closer to a natural eco system. scary to see though im sure
