found a leech-like worm in plants ordered online

I got some hornwort from eBay and found this tiny worm - about half the size of my fingernail, but it can stretch way bigger. I'm worried it might be a Korvoah or parasite. Could it be some kind of leach that could harm my fish?

Also, there's this weird jelly-like thing stuck to my hornwort. It's got some stiffness to it and I couldn't pull it off, even tried pretty hard.

"Does the worm have a sucker mouth? If it does, it's probably a Korvoah, and those can attach to fish.

As for the jelly-like thing on your hornwort, I'm pretty sure that's just snail eggs - they're usually clear and have some rigidity to them. You should probably remove it, just to be safe."
