Potential parasite - tiny white 'worms' ?

[AxolotlChris]

My girlfriends tank has developed some tiny white worm looking creatures on the inside of the glass. There are a lot of them but spread out, if you watch closely for a while you can see them slowly move. Haven't seen it before, any ideas?

Planaria. Harmless, but you might need to step up the cleaning routine -they feed on uneaten food and waste.

I thought Planaria was bigger! well that explains it.

Waste is siphoned throughout the week, along with weekly water changes.

I've got a sponge on a pole that I can run along the tank walls to hopefully pick up the Planaria.

Thanks for the help
