Sooo i thought they were copepods until i saw them moving a bit more like worms. Quite a few of them on the glass, and only seem to be there at night…

Friend or foe?

Don’t know what they are, they are not flatworms though. Those worms seem to be segmented and flatworms are not. Also I would not eradicate them yet, especially with chemicals, without knowing what they are. There might be a biological method of controlling them if they are pests.
