I've looked around and haven't quite found what kind of flatworm these may be. I'm guess it's some kind of polyclad. Pretty tiny with a bunch on the glass of the tank. Pretty sure they're bad but curious what kind they are. Not AEFW as I don't have any sps in this tank.

Planaria flatworm
Manual removal is easiest by siphoning them up with a 3/8" or 1/4" tubing into a nylon stocking and discard if few of them. Wrasses will also eat them. Wrasses: 6 lined. lunare, yellow coris or melanurus.
If so many , salifert flatworm exit will work but you have to siphon dead ones daily which can release toxins.
