Anyone know what type of flatworm this is? the body shape isn't like most of the flatworms in hitch hiker IDs. Also is this flatworm harmless in an SPS tank? the population is exploding and they are EVERYWHERE including all over my glass. Gonna try and get a velvet nudibranch to clean them up but should I be concerned in the meantime?

Clear,whitish suggest acoel fw which feed upon pods and are relatively harmless,besides ugly.

Yup, if I type in acoel on google the pictures look similar. I wish there was a guaranteed natural predator besides a nudibranch that is hard to keep in an sps tank
 
Wrasse will wipe them out...specifically yellow corris
 
I had a melanarus in QT for them but he died from what I suspect to be tumors all over his body. So now I'm going to try and get a blue star leopard wrasse as I've read those can eat them too. If I cant get a blue star maybe ill try the yellow corris. But it still seems wrasse are a hit or miss.
