Display tank worms

I took my clown out of my tank to quarantine him but now I see micro white worms floating and a micro red worm on my live rock. What can I use to get rid of this issue? I have a sand bed with live rock and a few hermit crabs.. 25 gal with 20 gal sump

Why do you think this is an issue that requires attention?
Worms are often beneficial in a tank..

Worms are generally a plus. There are 2 bad ones, both of which are so flamboyant you'd notice them. The eunicid worm aka bobbit worm, and hermodice carunculata. Google both for pictures.

Yep, a picture or two would be helpful. Likely harmless.
