Tank is indoors right? The only red 1/2" worms I can think of are bloodworms.

Bllod worms are midge larvae and can overwinter frozen in the mud of ponds. They are deposited as eggs by flying critters as well.

No they wont hurt your fish.. they are HIDING in the gravel so your fish dont EAT them

Stir up the gravel and let your fish have a snack

Cheers
