Looks like I have a couple different types of worms here. I dip everything before it goes into my tank but I know its not 100% effective. Anyway need some help on an ID for both of these types so I can have a better idea on how to treat. I took as many pics as i could so hopefully you can get an idea. Acros are all fine and happy. Most of the tank looks ok, lost a few zoas and a couple blastos took a hit but are coming back. Thanks team!

Its dorvillidae which is reef safe and feeds mainly on algae why you'll see them on the glass as well as rocks
 
Thanks that's awesome cuz there was a ton of those in the dip! There's actually another flat worm in there as well, a small grey/black possibly with a white dot near the head.

Check out the circled flatworm, black and very small. Possibly has a white dot on its head.
