I set up my tank last night, and noticed just now that I had a little creepy crawler worm type thing on my rocks, should I be concerned or is it normal?

Got pics of the little creepy crawler worm type thing?
 
I tried, but its hiding now. It's really small, maybe under an inch?

got a better pic of it
 
I'm sorry but I can't make anything out in the pics.
 
in the last pic, the right hand side you'll see its belly. But yeah, it's hard to take a pic of it. But should I be concerned? It looks like a snail. I read that 99% of Hitchhikers aren't necessarily a threat

Google stomatella and see if it matches what you are seeing.
Most common worm looking thingy=bristleworm
Most common snail looking thingy=stomatella snail. Both are great to have. Can't make anything out in the pics but google those and see if they fit. There is also a thread at the top of this forum page that talks about the most common hitchhikers with pics.
 
Yeah, I'd say it looks similar to a stomatella, but I haven't seen the worm again. It was tiny, under an inch. I plan on getting 2 clowns, and these won't hurt them?
