Just saw these in my tank today out of the blue. Kind of look like a white flat worm. Their back is white with a small hint of yellow on the under belly. Hoping the photos are clear enough for someone to help ID. 1st pic shows small yellow spot in center of underbelly. 2nd pic shows all white color of their backs. Thanks.

Do you happen to have any Nerite snails? If so, I’d guess these are Nerite eggs.

Regardless, you can rest assured that these are not flatworms, and they won’t harm your tank at all.

Cool, I thought nerite eggs at first, but the one looked like it had appendages like a ghost worm. I started second guessing my self, so thank you very much.
