    They are probably bristle worms, no problem!!!!! They are detritus eaters and actually fairly beneficial for your sandbed.

    If you can get a very close look at one of them, you might be able to find what you have by going through the relevant page of:

    Re: worms

    My guess would be peanut worms or hair worms. Do they look like either of these?
