This is what I find when I look up frozen bloodworms on the net



I do collect "real" bloodworms in salt water but they grow about 9" long and I have never found them frozen.
You're right those freeze dried worms are larva. I don't know that I would feed my fish Glycera dibranchiata because they contain copper though.
