Without a picture it is difficult to identify them but all is good.
Congratulations. You have a very healthy sand bed.
A healthy sand bed stabilizes your water and provides billions of tiny critters that your coral eat.
That is why it is not a good idea to add hermit crabs and some predator snails like bumblebee snails because they devour the worms.
