Default good worm or bad worm?...

Hey guys! I just found another critter in my new 5 wk old tank! BUT, is it a good or bad critter? I figure this worm is common but i'll add a pic if it doesn't seem familiar, it's pretty simple. It's about an inch long, very skinny, translucent with some whitish horizontal stripes or segments and has a tiny white tip on it's rear and a white slightly larger tip at the head where it's been eating algae (maybe it has mandibles, or something like a crab or snail for its mouth?).

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!
Dana
