White Worms in Snail Tank?

Hello everyone, today I noticed that there were some white worm-looking things in my 1 gallon snail tank. They are really thin!

I did some research and found that they are most likely Planaria worms. I heard they are harmless to fish, but what about snails??

I wanted to feed my snails to my fish but I won't if they're worms swimming around in the snail tank!

How can I get rid of them?

I know all about snail poop! Amazing what a mess they can make!

When I found some planeria in one of my tanks, I used my disposable pipettes to suck them up and remove.
These pipettes can be bought at Dr Fosters or a craft store. I use the pipettes for many things, feeding, measuring meds and dechlorinates, and for filling my water test kit tubes to the line.
