There is no problem to the fish that ate the worm (worms of different types are commonly fed to fish)
The main concern is if this worm is potentially a threat externally as a parasite.
This does not sound like the case here and there are many worms that will live in the substrate of aquariums (especially marine aquariums). The only danger from these composting substrate worms is over population which can cause oxygen depletion and cloudy water.

not in case you want any fish left, and a 2 foot tank can not be super sufficient, you will desire to think regarding the undeniable fact that the dimensions of tank has to slot in a heater not a fish water heater as turtles can chew those and destroy them, you apart from would want a sturdy filter out and a basking spot with lamp on a dry section so this could decrease the area for the turtle, additionally a 2 foot tank isn't super sufficient for a becoming turtle, the turtle is perhaps to consume your fish besides so it is not recommended, ultimate of luck honey

just keep an eye out on the fish that ate the worm...
If you can identify the worm, it would be great...
fish eat worms, but there are good worms (earth worms, tubifex) and bad worms (parasitic nematodes)..
if your fish show problem with being weak, and not eating or a worm stick out of its butt, then remove him immediately. There are internal worm meds for him.

Don't worry, unless you are going to eat the fish soon.
