moved this to tropical fish emergencies where it has more chance of a answer, the worms are probably planerians which are harmless and are a result of over feeding but i think a second opinion would be a good idea.

R the little white worms mostly on the glass surface? Thinner than hair, white, 1cm~ long? If they r, then I think there's nothing to worry about. Water changes can get rid of them, or they'll just disappear after some time.

They do sound like Planarians, they are harmless except to fish eggs which they can damage.

I had this exact problem a few months ago. In fact its exactly why i started posting here. Here is the my thread

In short i cut down on the food a bit, and enlisted the fish to help "clean up" the worms..
