    I take it by the time you posted that the lights are off?

    Could be a kind of Copepod. They usually come out at night and "squigle about"

    Are those "squiggling" things white? If so, they might be a species of flatworms. I once saw one swimming in the water, they resemble jellyfish when swimming.

    If they are, they eat pods and such. Nothing to worry about, although I would try to ID them before anything.
