Not sure what they're called but harmless and adds to the biodiversity. Found in many sumps & skimmers & tanks.

Just a type of worm/feather duster, good guys, don't worry.

I must be tired though, thought your title said THROW-OUT your sump... Was going to tell you not to do it.

They are basically a type of feather duster and are a filter feeder.
