Looks like a spaghetti worm to me.

Are they harmful?

I've never had one myself, so I couldn't say from personal experience, but the sticky by sk8er says they're good to have.

I have some in my sand, they cleanup any leftover food that falls around them.

I have it in my sand as well and doesn't harm anything. Looks disgusting when I look underneath my aquarium and see it lol.
