Those would be the larvae of a small fly or midge. They are harmless to your fish and in fact once out of the gravel the adult angels will love them as food!
Because you have babies in the tank I wouldn't suggest you try to do anything about them at this point, just let the adults pick off any that come up out of the gravel and remove what you can as you clean.

Magicman116 is right. It must be a type of larvae. Sometimes they do harm. I threw a some type of brine shrimp looking fish and it make a big hole in my Betta.
