Default Black worm infestation

So I placed my axolotls in floating breeder tanks that had small openings on the side
for water to come through. I fed them black worms and some of the worms fell on
the main display tank. It was just a couple of them, after a while I cleaned
the tank by removing the decorations, and then there they are, all over the bottom,
with their bodies buried in the sand, and their tiny heads popping out, Should I just
leave them in the bottom, or should I remove them? If I need to remove them, how can
I without harming the axolotls and If possible not stirring the substrate?

I'd just leave them, blackworms will last quite a while in water and your axies will be able to hunt them at their leisure.
