Reason for concern?

I'll try to get some pictures tonight, but I just noticed a new inhabitant in a tank I am cycling. It's a 1/2 " long, looks slugish, is completely transparent. I was able to find about 10 of them on the glass this morning. At the same time I also noticed a number of egg sacks laid in a spiral pattern. Can anyone ID off that description?

Post from earlier helped me identify. Looks like it is a harmless type of flatworm. Amphiscolops sp.

Anyone know if the egg's I'm seeing are from these or something else?

Snails have never been purposely introduced to the tank and I haven't seen any. I'll spend some more time looking for some though. Eggs were laid on the glass.
