Help ID please - little work like critters appeared overnight eating film algae on the glass.

Hi I am new to the hobby and a lot of tiny white worm-like creatures appeared eating algae in my tank. Please let me know if you know what they are and if I should worry.
I was thinking to add a six-line wrasse some weeks ago (but decided against it because all the post saying it goes crazy after some time). Would that eat these little guys safely?
(The tank is an fluval evo 13.5, with two clowns, 3 sexy shrimp, 3 hermits and 3 trochus)
Thanks a million!

Can’t tell from the pic, but most likely copepods.
