Trying to figure out the timing if possible.

Reef Worm + Nim Deathmantle + Ashnod's Altar

If I sacrifice the Reef Worm and the Nim Deathmantle trigger goes on the stack, will the 3/3 token go on stack last, so that I can then sacrifice that, then sacrifice the 6/6, and even the 9/9 to get 8 from Ashnod's Altar giving me plenty to spend on the Nim Deathmantle to bring back the Reef Worm?

Since you control all of the triggers here you can choose the order in which they go on the stack. So if you put the ability from the deathmantle on the stack first you will be get the whale and then be able to sacrifice it to the alter,

This will then net you the Kraken as triggered ability from the whale will fire and go on the stack on top of the ablity from the deathmantle

You will then be able to use the 4 mana gained from sacrificing the worm and the whale to get the worm back and you will end up with a 9/9 Kraken and a reef wurm with a Nim Deathmantle attached.

Hmm.... I am going to have to put this infinite mana/Kraken combo into a commander deck, aren't I?
