You can get the special tool which makes life easier or you can get a set of needle nose pliers to get them off if you are careful.
But given the state of those connections and the fuel filter it looks like that filter has not been changed from quite some time. If it were me I'd clean the entire assembly including the connections with carb cleaner. At least then you can see what you are working with. I'd probably even debate buying the tool. While I know what connections they take I can barely tell where the release clips are under all of that dirt! It looks to be on the other side of connection possibly.

clean them thoroughly with wd40/brake cleaner, then just push the tab in and wiggle/pull the fitting off, the o-rings can be quite tight.
don't need any tools for them.
