Half dozen of these 2mm guys apparently eating the algae on my front glass.

Body shaped like a ghost. Head is round and has a pouch shape that leads to a flatter body with notches tail. It moves pretty quick with a snake like zigzag.

Hoping they're only here to clean algae with my CUC.

Acoel Flatworm - sorry I missed it in the
Hitchhiker Guide.
Six Line Wrasse is now on the shopping list because these flatworms are clearly eating my Copepods not the Algae.
 

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
