I have this thing that has grown over the last few days at the base of some plants. It moves around that local area but never more than a half an inch of area.
Looks like a clutch of eggs but also looks like it has a foot. The tank only has plants and 1 nerite and 1 rabbit snail

It looks like a snail about to lay an egg sac. What does the other side look like?
I’m almost certain thats a leech of some kind although I’ve never seen one with eggs (?) like that before. I believe the circular part at the bottom is the part it uses to anchor itself while the mouth would be at the top
looks creepy…nothing I would keep , thats for sure :/
Definitely a leech with eggs.
Aww mama leech!
I was able to catch it and isolate to a jar, it is for sure a leech. Someone commented that it is helobdella. I’m glad I got it away from my snails!
I did get some new pics and video but can’t post them in a comment it seems
Its a snail leech with eggs. Once they hatch, it will be a snail leech carrying a load of baby leeches on her belly. Best to remove the problem now, as the babies will scatter if you try to remove the mother after they hatch.
