Good evening, can someone please help me identify this little red worms found in my tank? The tank is being set up busy with cycling and no fish has been in the tank

Thanks Colin, it does display the behavior of larvae. I first saw them on some ornaments and burrowing in the subtrate. This morning I saw one "wiggling / swimming" to the top of the tank
 
Thank you very much, of course the first result from Google was deadly parasites🤣
 
There are small red hair like worms that are sometimes seen hanging out a fish's butt. They are Camallanus worms and are a parasite. But the things in the picture are just insect larvae.
