Tank, Worms/Parasites on glass

[parttime]

I just cleaned my tank today and tonight i can see some small worms or Parasites attached to the glass, There is only a small patch so far.
All fish seem to be happy and in good shape,

What is this and is it common, Also how can i treat this.

If you can give any Info it would be great.

Ok first question do u feed ya fish blood worm or black
Some times the eggs will survive the freezing process
Or thay could be worms
u can see your lfs and thay may have a treatment for them
These guys are small and white and R in most water
Thay mostly show up if there is a lot of food in the water
So U can try the treatment and feed the fish a little less to slow them down
If there blood worm the fish will make short work of them lol

I think you will find they were just strands covered in gunk.
If you saw them crawling around then cool
but I often have to double wipe the inside glass of a tank when I finish to remove new hangers on.
Usually a bit of sediment on an algae strand
