Good indicative photos of the fish and the worms may help. The gravel and "some extra stuff" (?) might be removed if this problem is significant and hard to avoid.

Perhaps the tiny worms are the saprolegnia fungus growing on surfaces when the bacterial count in the water column is high (the system needs cleaning).
