Are these bad flatworms? Theyre in a jar, not my hand btw

Acoel flatworm and not as problematic as red planaria. Nevertheless, they can be an issue when in large numbers. Best removal is to siphon them with 3/8" or 1/4" tubing. Get them all as much as you can.
As an insurance policy, you can add a wrasse which will eat them. Wrasses would be: yellow coris, 6 lined, lunare or melanurus.
In large numbers, they can smother the base of coral and remove tissue. LOOK DAILY FOR 2 WEEKS FOR PRESENCE OF EGGS WHICH ARE TINY
