Worms in shrimp tank

[JonathanS136]

Hi all,
I have a shrimp tank and I noticed an odd looking worm on some of the new plants that I purchased. Could anyone help me to identify what type of worm this is and whether it is harmful to my shrimp? I was thinking it was just a detritus worm but I am not sure. It’s not very long (about 1 centimeter) and it has a brownish color. Thanks!

bloodworm (chironomid midge larvae) or another similar insect larvae.
