fishman646,

and...

Just don't worry about them... consider them part of the natural look you're going for... and tell your friends that, too.

How this relates to "setup and filtration" more than "general aquaria" at all is beyond me, yet still, it was moved here.
Some of the mods here need a little checkup from the neck up

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand we're back in general aquaria!

Just don't worry about them... consider them part of the natural look you're going for... and tell your friends that, too. They'll think you're super-cool. I had planaria (they are a nematode) in my 125, and all I had in it was my RTC, at the time. He ate every piece of fish and every pellet that went into that tank. I have heard they come from overfeeding, too, but I can't believe it, now that I've had that happen. There's no way there's leftover food with a red-tail!

planaria are most definitely not nematodes the are platyhelminthes and from what the op has stated they are not planaria they are definitely some sort of round worm(nematode)
