More strange thing's in my tank! HELP!

[oliverar]

I have just spotted some more odd tank life! It looks a bit like a really thin, elongated blood worm, although it is white. I saw it moving on the glass like a leech, it grabbed onto the glass then pulled the rest of its body along. Then it jumped off the glass and spiralled down onto the ground where it hid in the plant's, I couldn't get a picture of it, and I can only see 1, what is this?

could be planaria.

Are they bad?

Got them in my non fish shrimp tank. Not sure what they are, but they seem pretty friendly!

The fact it ''jumped off the glass'' makes me think its not planaria.
And chance of photos?

could be a nematode...

Check the link posted by Nelson over at LFKC, the product I purchased to kill them works a treat, all dead in 24 hours! Does not affect shrimp or fish or plants!
If they are more like proper worms but white, they could be vinegar eels!
