Did my snails reproduce?

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help. Here's today's problem:

Overnight, it appears as if a few hundred tiny white "organisms" have come alive. They are clinging to the side of my tank and are clearly moving around. The larger ones look almost like tadpoles, with a central circular area and a small tail like extension.

Currently, the tank is near the end or just about cycled. It has two blue legged hermits, a blue damsel, and five turban (or Astrea) snails.

Also, when I was acclimating the snails, two of them seemed to be locked in snail love, though for all I know they reproduce asexually.

Basically, with this lackluster information, I was hoping somebody could tell me if they thought the organisms were snails and, more importantly, how should I approach getting them out of the setup.

 

Circles with tails?? Kinda sounds like flatworms to me.... what color are they? Baby snails will look like small snails.

Have any pics?
Good luck

 

I would bet you are talking about pods. Do they look like snails or bugs? If they look like snails or bugs, it's all good.

If it looks more like a worm though - listen to Dr. Frag.

 

Thanks for the responses guys. I'm gonna assume the worst and try to clean these out. It takes a little imagination to see them as small snails, but Dr. Frag has me thinking better safe than sorry.

 

some flatworms are fine to have in your tank they usually eat pods

 

Ok, a few days have passed. Since the little white things appeared. Today, I saw the first worm shaped entity, a very small white one which I removed. I siphoned out a lot of the small tadpole organisms, but a good deal are still left.

I guess, then, my question is pretty straightforward: are these white worms a form of flat worm and are chemicals the only way to do it?
