Don't worry too much about the worm. I've had them. No harm that I ever found.
Try this: get a broad black ribbon or paper strip and cover that edge of your sand. If you make it nice, you can leave it that way; but even a week will probably improve the look. That's usually cyano on that edge, and if it doesn't have light, it dies.

Thanks, sk8r.
I have a few empty shells (probably ~20 of various sizes for 11 hermits). But, they've taken to going after the nerites. Think it is a sport to them; they will kill, eat, and leave the shell. Really debating getting rid of a few of them and just adding more snails. I enjoy watching them, but they are starting to become heathens.
