Could you post a picture of one if you see another? It's impossible to even guess from your description (it was floating but appeared to be stuck to the bottom of the tank?). Sometimes, when there is leftover food and other debris in the tank (and the tank needs a cleaning) dark worm-like objects (they don't move) stick to the tank and objects in it. Does this sound like what you saw? Are there more of them?
