HELP! Should I be concerned by this "creature"

[Lils]

I've had my tank about 6 months and just found this slug like creature in my tank. I took him out, for now. Does anyone know what it is and should I get rid of it? Thanks in advance for any advice.

Shrimp tank?

In an aquarium there are a lot of bugs that accumulate over time. Thankfully, the majority of them aren't harmful; however they are gross. This is likely in the harmless category, but without a very close detailed picture it's difficult to tell what it is.

Kinda looks like planaria to me. I've always left them in my tanks in the past. Never had too many and my fish would eat them.

Not a shrimp tank. Have some Platys (my female just had close to 40 fry) Neon Tetras, and Chinese algae eaters. Thanks for the help. Don't think its a planera, it doesn't have the triangle shaped head.

Good news hopefully it's tasty and your fish find it to snack on.
