type of worm??

[biglongdarren]

About six weeks ago i filled a bucket with seaweed nettles and some water with the idea of using the end result on my flowers and garden, in the past few weeks i have noticed these worms in it, they seem to only come to the surface at night.

Have anybody any idea what they are??

Orange ribbon worms?

Blood worms? Chironomidae

they look too long for blood worms and don't look like the orange ribbon either but on looking up these i have came across the sludge worm which i think they are,
thanks Darren

we used to get loads of these around the sewer outlets in the river. A local tropical fish breeder harvested them to feed his stock. he also sold them
