You can start with this link:

I think I might have a few others at home. I can send them to you tonight when I'm off work. What you saw that looked like a millipead might be a bristleworm. They are good scavengers.

If they look like this it might be time for the bleach.

Chances are they are bristleworms.
harmless scavengers. They can pose problems when they get too large, but there is ways to catch them.
Some people use tweezers, Andy likes to suck them out with a turkey baster.
There is also a wide range of traps available to catch them, or you can just make a pop bottle trap with a cocktail shrimp in it.
