I have noticed these almost microscopic white worms on my tank glass.. What could these be? They are way to small to show in a pic.

They are none harmful to your fish, vacuum your gravel and do some extra water changes over the next few days. Go lighter on feeding as well. Usually caused by excess food/leftovers in your tank. Shouldn't take long to rid of them.

I've had those & they don't cause any problems that I've seen other than your nitrates might spike. As already advised good vacuuming & extra water change, they'll be gone before you know it. I have one 10g tank that seems to have them to some small degree almost all of the time.
