Do a water change and try to get as many of those as you can out!
 
They look...look, not sure... like Hydra. They are Cnidarids, like Jellyfish and Anemones, and will really only cause a problem to egg layer fish fry.
 
Im doing a wc later but i only did one tuesday,am i worrying too much bottomfeeder?

I still say remove them
 
Wow, looks like you have a lot. Last pic has them all aound your shot.
I would also drop your feeding schedule (for the time being atleast) and if you use pellets, I have noticed they attract more of unwanted parasites (crap in general).

i would up water changes and add salt

closest thing i could find is Hydra vulgaris
