I found this lil guy and many others in my filter cartridge when i was changing them yesterday. they were all wiggling around like worms when they were brought out of the water, up close they kinda look like snails without shells. can you tell what they are...sorry not the best picture...the lil thing is kinda huddled up in a lil fetal postition, lol! Also, it's on a wet papertowel, just in case you were wondering. Thanks!
