There was something in my tank!!
It looks like a worm.
It was white, about 3/4 cm long, and was "sliding" up the wall of the tank.
It looked a little like a snail without a shell or "anteneas," i guess, but it was white.
I netted it out and flushed it down the toilet.
 
Most likely a planarian worm, harmless little fellas that appear if there is too much uneaten food in the tank.

Vac your gravel and cut down on feding and you shouldn't see many more of them.

Here's a picture of the various species of planarian.
(larger than actual size!)
