A worm crawling on glass? could be a nudibranch. If is it a nudibranch, it won't survive long anyway as they are specialized eaters and will probably starve to death in the home aquarium. They only eat one thing and that's it.
Of course we would need a pic of it to be sure.

Yeah I'll try get a pic if I ever see again. It feed like a cucumber as the hairs were Waving about then individually pulled into mouth and cleaned off. So I would think a filter feeder but one never knows
