planaria look short and stubby,these are long and skinny.
and its hard to get a pic of something so small and so fast

it looks like the worm that ate it's way out of my poly. have you noticed any big red bumps on any of your fish?
if it is what i had, it's parasitic and should be moved IMMEDIATELY! when ui took mine out i burned it and did a 75% water change.

Can't tell a thing from the pic.
1. Is there a fork at one end that forms a Y shape to the body?
2. Does one end resemble cauliflower?
3. Is the body segmented?
4. What size are these?
5. Are any waving in your gravel like they only have the tip of one end buried?
6. Are any attached to the bodies of your fish?
7. Are any trailing from the edges of the fish's gills?
As far as these things swimming too fast for pics, net some of these things out, drop them on a dark surface, and try for some better pics.
BTW, even with the fuzzy pic, these do not appear to be planaria. Possibly a type of inoffensive nematode worm but, much more info and/or pics are needed.
