Worm like creatures in sand

Question

Picture of worm I have about 20 clear small worm like creatures that are multiplying in my sand. Some are against the glass and I can see a tube. the others have a little mound where they are in the sand. Are these bad? How can I get rid of them if they are? I have attached a picture. Sorry it isn't better.

Answer
Hi Jason,

From the picture you've included I cannot see the marine animal close enough to make a determination. However, from what you've described, there are a few possibilities. Perhaps they are flat worms or peanut worms.

See this link below loaded with information to help you determine what you have.
