They're Planarians. They're kind of ugly but harmless (non-parasitic), and
excessive populations in an aquarium are often caused by
overfeeding. Unfortunately, I don't have any links handy, but you should
be able to find a ton of info by using Google or another search engine. If
you want to culture some outside the aquarium for fun, they go nuts for egg
yolk.
