So I noticed this morning while looking at my fish tank that they are something moving along under the gravel. So I looked closer and it looks like a little worm or something, and there is more then one. Then I can kinda see what I think is a sucker or a mouth on the wider end of it. Now I'm completely confused, I don't have a algae eater in my tank, but I did just get rid of a really bad case of brown/red algae. This things are maybe a centimeter long and super thin, any ideas?

thats it, thank you!
Yep. It must have been because of the overfeeding incident, Leigh. Vacuuming them thoroughly and then cutting back on food for a moment should help though.

Planara
no problem, it happened to me before too. I imagine it happens at least once to everyone.

It should be spelt as Planaria right? :)
Some pictures of Planaria for those who don't know:
