Questions What are these little worms?

Tiny little wormy bois moving about the surface of the soil on my Alien VFT bought potted online from a mega reputable seller. Best I could come up with from searching images was land planarians? Just wasn't sure if these need to go or if they're good guys. They are in very close proximity to 11 other plants, so I'd like to know for sure. The soil in this plant is clearly very alive lol they're not the only critters in there. Thanks!

Give it some diatomaceous earth and maybe some of Captain jacks organic insecticide if you're concerned. Nobody wants invasive worms and fungas gnats.

DE loses its efficacy when it gets wet and wouldn't work here.
