AnswerHi Afrah
I saw your question in our question pool.
Does the white tailed creature look like this on the photo?

If so, that's an anchor worm, and your best bet is to remove them manually with some tweezers. And use one of the treatments they recommend on that link for the tank. Keep an eye on the fish afterwards for a secondary bacterial or fungal infection where the parasite was attached on the fish.
If it doesn't look like that, let me know. Good luck!
