Hey folks, I know these are flatworms but I'm unsure of the kind. My gut is leaning towards AEFW. Noticed some stn on a monti and a millie too. Am I correct?

Of it is AEFW I seen @shane backer post some kind of chemical in his thread that kills them. Maybe if he sees this he can let you know what he uses.

Very hard picture to work with as it is blurry
Appears to be an acoel or rust brown flatworm
These smother coral , blocking needed light for food and become a nuisance in numbers. First recourse to removal by siphoning as many as you can daily. Thereafter, consider adding a wrasse such as 6 lined, lunate or melanurus. They eat them as does velvet nudibranch.
Also look daily for presence of eggs which are tiny.
If all else fails, salifert flatworm exit is good but siphon dead ones daily which can release toxins.

I've used it before to rid a tank of red planaria, but I don't think it will do anything against aefw if thats what this is
