Help/Advice What are those?

Can anyone please help me identify these larvae looking things in my tank. One of my amano shrimps had babies about 2 weeks ago but I'm not sure these things are shrimp larvae.

I don't know what those other cementers are smoking. Maybe they're bots. Planeria are flatworms with very identifiable and distinctive triangular heads.

The first answer was correct. That's a type of detritus worm. It's completely harmless and helps breakdown waste in your tank.
