I had some white worms in my tank a while back. They were about the same size that you had explained only they would swim by spinning really fast. They may be the same as yours or somthing really sim. Anyhooo, I solved this little issue with my Royal Gramma. He cleaned up those little worms in about 2 days. The worms weren't really causing any problems to begin with and I don't believe they would of caused any problems. They sure did look tastey to my Gramma.

check out melevs reef (http://www.melevsreef.com/id/) and see if it looks like a spirorbid worm. thats what they sound like to me. they are harmless filter feeders.
