I have these in my tank too. Im curious to find out exactly what they are as well.

That picture is very blurry (did you use the Macro setting on your camera if it has one?), but it looks like it may be a Stomatella snail. Does it have a sort of half shell on its back, with a long, trailing foot? If so, that's probably what it is, and it's something beneficial for your tank (algae eater).
