    This is a small fleshy milky white thing crawling on the glass, several actually. It resembles a snail (kinda) without a shell and has a forked tail dragging along behind. Roughly 1/4" long and 1/8" wide. Sorry for the bad photo, seems my phone is trying to focus on the background instesd of the critter.

    Hold on, tried to post through photobucket but linked the whole album, not going well

    Sounds like a Clear Flatworm. By the way, the link says no picture exists.

    I have some and they seem to like algaes, not sure of their full diet though. I just look them up and the only problem they seem to create is an eyesore to you.

    That's for the real problematic ones "Small reddish-rust colored creatures may already be in your tank.", the pic of the clear one shouldn't really be there.
