Can't see clearly from the pics, I think its slugged.
Clean with magnetic cleaner and wash the filter for few intervals after that. Just to make sure the filter wouldn't trap any harmful bacterials or worms and recycle to the tank.
The formation could be due to overfeeding with leftover foods.
Soon you will see some white wormy creatures crawling if cleaning is not properly done.

will it be harmful if it is left un touch? i think i saw some worms moving around already.. can a normal sponge to the job? it is just a one feet tank..

i just notice today that there are more worm at the size of 2mm moving on the wall of the tank.. then, there also more flea like thingy in the tank.. they will hope around in the tank wall.. is there any way to help reduce them or remove it?

You should had asked in the Invertebrates section

Most likely cyclops and planaria. Both not harmful to shrimps.
