Hi there, these worms are.. Enchytraeus buchholzi. Their white worms that you can feed to tropical fish. Their pretty harmless and might even eat any dead pinheads u have. Personaly I'd remove them and change the substrate if u can, have you a fishtank? If u have feed your fishies these worms. You can get them where there is moisture and food remains. Hope this helps and don't worry.

Ps, is that tissue paper in the enclosure? Maybe the enclosure is too damp. You can also buy these worms in a culture form and grow them up to feed your fish if u have any.

Ok.. Well they need to be kept on soil.. Moist. Then place a small piece of bread soaked in milk as food, then cover the bread with a piece of glass put a lid on and put it in a dark warm place. They will thrive and their numbers will explode in a week or two. You can use the worms as fish food to get them into breeding condition. These shouldn't be fed to fish as a staple diet though because their very fattening.
