they're harmless....we all have them...they tend to come out when we overfeed...just do a quick gravel vac + water change and they'll go back into the gravel...don't overfeed and they'll stay in the gravel..they eat the left over food from feeding.

My LFS owner (30+ years experience) told me it wasn't anything to worry about if water quality is good. He suggested an abundance of fish waste and food as the cause. I have fancy goldfish and a niger cat, so I think he's right! He suggested that they are in all gravel substrate, but they multiply when there is a lot of organic matter.
