With tweezers?How do I remove this?

How do I remove this?
There are two.
Just for clarification here, could you circle what you think may be a flatworm in this pic? Personally, I see what looks like algae, coralline, and probably some colonial tunicates.

This is what I was unsure about. I'm very new to the hobby so my flatworm guess is probably way off. I just panicked a bit because I don't want to unknowingly add bad pests.
