I wouldn't worry.....think of them as snakpaks for later.
I usually wind up siphoning a few from the gravel in tanks where I feed them.

I wouldn't worry about it. Your fish will eventually eat them. I had an earthworm in my wifes tank that was stilll alive. I had fed it to a newt, and he never ate it. It was in the gravel, and one day I was planting a new plant and SUPRISE there is something alive in the gravel. that was almost 2 weeks after the last worm had gone into the tank.
I wouldn't worry, it can be considered as a "packed lunch" for you fishes for later. They'll probably eat the soon enough.
Yah, the fish will probably eat it after some time. Don't worry. I feed with live blackworms myself, and sometimes the worms stay in the tank until the fish get hungry.
A species of segmented worm commonly used as fish food, ofted for the purpose of conditioning the fish for breeding. Otherwise known as Lumbriculus variegatus.
I get mine here. There's lots more info there as well if your interested.
