Thanks bro

i keep scarlet badis fish, which eats these worms. however, since yours is a shrimp tank, your shrimplets will be in danger from them also.

Those should be protein worms, harmless. Cause by overfeeding. Just stop feeding for 2 days and resume feeding but feed by consuming rate, don't overfeed will more or less control the worms.

Keep brigittae in your tank, one or two of them.. they'll control the population. I always have a few brigittae in my shrimp tank

If you don't like the worm just get a pipette or a dropper and suck it out. They are harmless and can be controlled by the use of traps. They feed on the detritus in your tanks.
