I've searched the forum as well as the net and am still not sure what kind of worms I have hiding out in my pond filter. They are between .5 and 1.5 inches and dark with possibly a redish tint. Based on my searches I suspect they are blood worms, but they aren't nearly as bright red as those I've seen on the net. I only noticed them the last two filter changes. The first time I noticed them they were much smaller and I freaked and did my best to kill them all. Today when I changed the filter I didn't expect to find any at all but found some larger ones. I didn't take pictures of the first batch, but I have of the ones I found today. Here are a couple. These were the best pictures I could get. I also took a video of one wiggling.

So are these blood worms, or do I need to be worried?
