those pics are way to fuzzy to get an ID from, but its a bristle worm of some kind. look through this page and see if anything looks like it.

You don't want to kill the worms... they're very benifitial to the tank. I've got some that are monsters... about six inches long. They keep the tank clean of debris, and are not harmful to anything in the tank.
