I don’t think the generic ones harm anything. I have them in my tank but in limited numbers so I don’t bother getting rid of them. My wrasse and damsel control the population

I agree that those appear to be one of the harmless varieties of flatworms, but they have the capability to explode their population in short order if left unchecked. Many (most?) wrasses will gobble them up. I know that my Blue Star Leopard wrasse was able to rid my system of a huge population of them within a week or two of his introduction to the tank.
