Worms in my filter drip plate

These are tiny little worms found in my outdoor filter's drip plate. They have not really caused much harm to my fishes/pond; just the sight of it gives me goose bumps ;p I was just wondering if anyone knows what they are.

Just using an overhead filter. You can google "Dolphin Overhead Filter", it will give you a better picture on how the filter looks like.

Not blood worms I think, blood worms being larva for a fly like creature.

Probably just some sort of round worm, should be completely harmless and in fact beneficial for the pond.
