parasites?

i got a vulgaris today that is going into my 75 gal .... when i was doing the drip acclimation, i looked up at my tank and noticed little 1/8-1/4 inch long white slug looking things moving around on the glass that had NEVER been therebefore.... i also noticed thousands of little tiny tiny whitish clear critters on the glass also.... i wasnt sure if my octo would be safe in the tank with these things? what should i do?

Hi Octo,
I am freaking out too. I saw one of these little pure white slug looking things too yesterday when I was checking on my tank.
This morning I go downstairs and I see 6 of them! Mine have 2 "ears" that look like bunny ears (antennae). One of them has a lacy like appearance coming off of the body, almost like those dragon pipefish. Is there such a thing as a white cucumber?
Now I hear some clicking coming from the tank too! Ugh!

Dont have a good answer for ya.
they might have brought hitchhikers in with them
if you have an octo and you hear clicking sounds it might be the Octo smashing snails against the glass

least thats what mine used to do
