Help Identify - Groupings Small Black Crawling Bugs

Hello,

Can somebody please help me identify these small crawling black tiny worm-like bugs. They are cropping up in groups on my sand bed. I sucked some out and took a video.

they can hit plague population levels and release toxins in an appreciable amount if they die en masse. do a search here for 'flatworm exit' and read the threads THOROUGHLY to find out what to do and how/why
