The last fish I added was my Hippo Tang from Golds and that was around two years ago.

It's possible that one of your wild caught fish came in with them and seeing as how tangs are known poop eaters (my foxface eats poop as well) they could of picked up the worms from eating poop.
I don't know if intestinal worms can live freely in a tank but there is no reason the foxface (or the tang) couldn't have had them for the last 5 yrs and showed no outward symptoms
