Looks like a spaghetti worm taking a stroll on the glass... they are harmless.

Spaghetti worm

Hm I'm 99% sure that's not a spaghetti worm , I would know I have hundreds . It's to white and to long and they ALWAYS have the strans comming out of them . Maybe @Kman might know this one .

It looks like a nematode worm to me. (round worm) Some are parasitic and some are not. I have a book at home that I will see if I can find it in. Not all are bad but about half of the sp are. It could have came from a fish as an internal parasite or it could be eating small crustaceans, algae and detritus on the glass and could be harmless. If it is parasitic it will typically have a spear for a head where it jabs itself into its pray. Some have round mouths with rows of teeth. spaghetti worm don't usually like to go into the open and will stay in substrate or holes in a rock or crevasse where it can extend all the spaghetti tendrils into the water to capture food to transport it back to its mouth.
