ID needed, possible flatworms?

Tanks been up for almost 2 months. All parameters are good on my 30 gallon w/20 gallon sump. Just spotted this in my fuge. I dont know if its a flatworm or not but there is several of them in there. From what I've gathered, it can be a flatworm but the fact that its round and fuzzy has me second guessing. Would like someone to ID it. Thanks for any input or help.

Stationary, doesn't move. Will multiply though. No, it will not over take your algae.
