I found a lot of flatworms in my tank. But it’s not any response with DIP cure. As my research, it maybe are ACOEL FLATWORM but I’m not sure. Please let me know exactly ID of this flatworm and how to extrude from my tank?

Hello!I found a lot of flatworms in my tank. But it’s not any response with DIP cure. As my research, it maybe are ACOEL FLATWORM but I’m not sure. Please let me know exactly ID of this flatworm and how to extrude from my tank?
i think these are brown planaria. they eat detritus (i had some in my tank that also ate copepods). they are toxic when they die and regenerate when scraped.
blue velvet nudibranchs eat em. i will gladly lend you mine (he has eaten dang near all of my planaria). i would recommend running activated carbon and removing wave makers for this tho.
