I fed my fishes green worms quite regularly but none of them got green eyes, nor it made the water bright green.

Are gloworms the same as green worms?

I guess this is a new thing in fishing bait. You can make your earthworms glow. I wouldn't think the worms would actually glow in the water unless there is some actinic lighting

Mad that it's also made your other tank green, ah well water changes aplenty for you

Looks like fluorescein, a non-toxic dye. Same dye they use to color the river in Chicago green for St Patrick's Day.
A little goes a long way... Obviously.

It's also used in some meds (not as active ingredient), I know it from treating blue-green algae.

I actually like it in a strange way...

Lol, glad I'm not the only one. I've added new driftwood during an algae bloom in my tank and it got a swampy quality (especially with the moon light on) I really liked!
