Flatworm ID?

[rongy]

I found this little creature crawling on my glass at night, and I believe they’re flatworms. Can anyone help ID this? Or at least tell if they’re harmful or not?
It looks transparent/white with black dots on them. Doesn’t look like brown flatworm unless it’s a baby.

Yeah, that seems to be a flatworm - as a general rule, flatworms are harmful (or neutral at best), so removal is suggested.

If you want a more specific ID, you may need to get a closer up pic of it against a black background under moderately bright white lighting.

So far, I haven’t found it on my corals, and I dip all corals. Do you recommend flatworm exit or just add predator fishes? I have yellow coris wrasse in the tank but it always surfs on top of the water, not patrolling the rock

It may be an invert-predatory species rather than a coral-parasitic one; regardless, if you're not having any major issues with it at the moment, I'd personally keep a close eye on your corals, remove any ones you see, and (if you can responsibly do so) add a predatory fish.

What’s your recommendation for fish for bare bottom? I will soon be removing sands and go bare bottom. Six line seems to be a good one, but I heard that it’s a hit or miss.

How big is your tank? A Sixline or similar would be my first thought, but @i cant think or @Slocke may have other ideas for you.

4 feet, 100 gallon

the pink streak is rarer but a far more peaceful option. Fairy and flasher wrasse are fine bare bottom but aren’t really pest eaters.
