Hard to tell, could just be pods. Did the lights just turn on? Pods usually come out at night. If they look like this, nothing to worry about.

If they dont look like this, maybe get a closer pic or describe the appearance.
 
Ya pods, they inhabit all tanks. They are scavengers, and play an important role in tanks. They eat excess food and can help keep nitrate and ammonia levels down, in addition, they are a great food source for fish.
