What are these little things?

I dont have any pics..sorry. They are translucent centipede looking things. They are about the size of the end of a pencil lead. There are a lot of these. Do I want these in my tank? The only place they could have come from is Jims live rock or sand.

Good stuff, hopefully you'll be able to see tons of them when the tank is dark soon if you just got them from Jim.
