Are these freshwater planaria?  I am removing as I see them, and I guess i have a week of washing thw worms to pick through them and get these other things out.  I would still like to know what they are though.  Don't mind the radio music in the background!
 
Any tips and tricks on storing/washing the worms, shoot!    I'm just following the description in Matt Witt's book.

Is it a leech?

Ya maybe, that was another thought...gross.  I picked out at least 20 of them yesterday.

Yes, planaria, flatworms.

Ok, thanks Tal.  I'm assuming they are not overly threatening to my broodstock health?
