I noticed small elongated white spots on my tanks glass about a week ago. They were moving and are now finally big enough to kinda see what they look like, unfortunately they are not big enough to take a picture of. I therefore resorted to paint

They dont have legs from what i can see but they do have the two tail things. They are probably a little bit slimmer than what my picture shows but you get the idea, the rounded part is the head. I was thinking a larvae of some sort?

Thanks!
 
these are harmless flatworms. they are not like the red ones people always cry about. these will disappear as fast as they came. they are very common in new setups.
