What are these things? They are very minut white worms that stick out of tiny little tubes. There seem to be more then a week ago.

Are they safe for my tank?

Probably vermetid snails or speghetti worms. But the speghettis ususally live in the sand. Both are fine, but the vermetids can be a prolific breeder and a nuissance.
