The worm is a bristle worm. The "flea" is an amphipod.

Just a quick update. I have now found worms ... long worms with protruding
"feathers" down it's side in even clumps, and also .. "fleas" .. they look
like fleas on a dog, but have long "feelers" on it's head.
ps: this is through a cheap magnifying glass by the way ... not with
the naked eye.
I'm going to search the wonderful net now and see if I can find a pic of the
worm
