Giant worm in tank should i be worried?

[Killerbro511]

I was looking at my aquarium this morning and i noticed a pinkish worm wiggling just below the soil. I know i have detritus worms in my tank and i let them be but this is definitely different. Should i be worried and remove it? Dooes i mean there are others?

In my tank i have a betta, a school of embers, some kuhli loaches and some cherry shrimp. If its predatory im concerned about the shrimp and the kuhlis

Any help greatly appreciated

I doubt that it's predatory if it lives in the substrate. It's going to eat tank waste matter much like detritus worms and may even be one of them anyway.
