worm on carbonfilter

I cleaned my Fishtank a little bit ago,and when I canged out the carbon in my filter there was a life black worm on it.It was about 5mm long.I have no idea where it came from and if it is bad or not.It is a 55g tank with 4 Angels,2 Cory's and 1 Pleco and the water levels are fine.Any help is appriciated.
