Just noticed them this afternoon after a water change yesterday. They have eaten 8 hard corals overnight. Unreal.
Red Planaria don’t eat corals. They can smother them, but it doesn’t look like you’re at plague proportions. They are somewhat photosynthetic and otherwise eat detritus/algae. I would look to other causes for your corals dying.

From my research flatworms they are. Only hard corals are dead. Most of the tank is softies and they’re thriving

They are definitely Planaria (flatworms), what I’m saying is that they are not the cause of your corals dying, the flatworms and the corals dying are two different issues.
