Need help identifying these critters
Does anyone know what these are?
I initially thought planaria but the heads are not arrow shaped....

planaria, a harmless worm that eats fish eggs.
do regular water changes and gravel cleaning and you will hardly ever see them.

If it doesn't have an arrow shaped head it's not planaria, it's a rhabdocoela worm.
