Flaworm city - oh no
Try siphoning as many as you can and look for presence of eggs. these are ones that wrasses (6 line. lunare and melanurus) would eat.
Salifert flatworm exit will work well but careful of dosing as dead ones can or may release toxins. Again look for eggs which are TINY and siphon as much as you need to

Thanks everyone, going to get a wrasse tomorrow See what happens.

Ok. Melanurus not in stock maybe a week. 6 line in stock. Anyone had luck with 6 line or wont he quite cut it..

They look like acoel flatworms to me. Photosynthetic and they don't hold on to things very well. The big danger of these guys is if they get too numerous they can smother a coral and starve it of light. Syphon them out best you can and get a wrasse. My ruby fin eats them like I eat Doritos. I had a bunch of them at first but haven't seen them in about a year.
