Hey these worms come out and crawl around the glass sometimes. I am just wondering what they are and if they are harmful in any way.

They are in my Q-tank
 
They are generally only visible when there numbers get really high. That is a sign of over feeding in the tank (too much left over food at the bottom). A good gravel vacuuming will keep their numbers very low.

Yeap thanks, I've been trying to cut back on feeding the fish, that's a hard one.

I've noticed I only see these worms come out after my weekly water change.
