How is your sump set up? Is there teeth or eggcrate so the chaeto doesn't overflow into the return pump? Probably just a few strays got loose.

the wall seperating the main chamber from the return chamber has a slit cut through it about 1/2" maybe a little more tall and about 8 inches long. the water doesnt overflow over the top, just through the gap.

Either way, a small amount of cheato getting into your tank is not a problem.
