I discovered some a large amount of flatworms in my tank a few days ago and bought flatworm exit but I am waiting for carbon. Can anyone tell me what type these are? I don’t see them on any corals but I don’t have any sps at the moment anyway. Also, is there anything I can do in the meantime?

It looks like Acropora-Eating Flatworms, they feed off coral tissue. Make sure you follow the necessary steps with flatworm exit because of the toxins they emit when they die. Before you do flatworm exit I would recommend siphoning as much of them that you can out of your tank.

Planaria. Red flatworms. They multiply and cover.
They make flat worm exit but I recommend skimming wet and doing was well.doing this and using a net to catch floating flat worms and put them in a 5g bucket of water.
