Posted are a few photos of what I believe to be either spionid worms or vermetid snails. I am leaning towards the spionid worms because I have not seen any “web like” material come out of the end, but if anyone knows please let me know? if they are spionid worms, are they harmless? Thank you!

Looks like vermetid snails to me.
It looks like that but I was reading that vermetid snails cast a web like net out for feeding I believe and there are lots and lots of them in my tank and I’ve never seen that. Is this true or do they not always do this?

Not all vermetids cast noticable webs. The things in the pics are definitely vermetids.
