Probably planarians. Not harmful. Cut down on feeding and increase water changes for a bit. Here's a good article on them:

these sound like what I have seen from time to time seen crawling around the substrate near the glass. Just a day or two ago I found our 10 gallon snail breeding tank had exploded with these all over the glass so we moved our guppy community from our 55 gallon tank to the 10 and they are nowhere to be seen now so either they all fell to the bottom and are hiding in the substrate or the guppies had a feast.
