They are planaria (more commonly known as flatworms). They're harmless, and if your fish get a hold of them, they'll like snacking on em quite a bit. Feed your tank less and you should see less of them. Personally, I don't think a few are a big deal though.

Planaria or nematodes...most likely nematodes though. Harmless, show up with an increase of detritus in most cases though.
