I started a macro algae tank and my glass is full of these critters some sort of sea slug or nudibranch?

These look closer in resemblance to flatworms. Can you tell us where you received this macro from? If it's purely a macro algae tank - then need no fear, probably a great species for these tanks tbh!

The macro is from a seller long ago I got 2inches and now have 2 main growths about 10inches in diameter lots of leaves etc I put 1 in a separate tank with some calerpa and red algae grass to grow out with some rock etc so nothing new so I don't get where these worms come from?
 
They may have hitched a ride back in the day, and have now grown to large proportions. All it takes is one with these and it becomes a thriving population.
 
I believe they're red planaria flatworms
