    Sorry for the bad pic, it looks like a snail thing but no shell. Could it be a parasite??

    I can not tell from the image.

    Either Stomatella or Flatworm.

    Also I saw these so I thought they were snail eggs but now I don't know. They could be flatworms about to hatch and destroy my tank

    It's got a yellow center like an egg

    Harmful in that they can become an issue in their numbers, and fast!! Hard to completely eradicate. However several treatments are available. Either by certain fish species like the six line wrasse/yellow coris wrasse or the Flat Worm Exit medication. Which I've used with great results.
    I too got them via a chaeto/pod/cuc order :(
