I’m hoping you guys can help. This is the first time I have ever seen something like this in my tank and I’ve been in the hobby for a while abd am at a loss. Last night both my Female Harlequin and one hermit hatched their eggs. While I was looking at the hermit babies I added back to the tank, I noticed these small worm like critters on my glass. Don’t think they’re the Harlequin babies as those I think would be similar to hermits I added this morning. Any idea what they could be?

Can’t see images but I suspect detritus worms, or pods

I see larvae of some kind and maybe flat worms at the top? Larvae are probably harmless. Or they are just detritus worms.

Thanks. I’m hoping it’s just detritus worms. I have a video but it’s not uploading
