What are these white things?

So I have like three of these little white worm things on the glass of my tank. I know that they are alive because they are moving along the glass. I'm wondering if they are dangerous to my axolotls? Should I be worried? Or are they harmless?

Sorry the pictures not very good, they aren't very big.

Thanks for any replies in advanced.

Could be planaria. They are the result of overfeeding or under cleaning in your aquarium. Clean out your rock/sand a little better. There is a food source there, such as debris or some other type of waste, that is promoting the little worms growth.

Thanks for the replies. I will do better with my cleaning. There is probably debris in my moss that I can't see, so I'll make sure to clean it better. Thanks again.

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
