Was looking around the tank and found these hanging out on the glass. Don’t move very fast at all. Think they might be Acoel flatworms. Pictures are not all that great sorry.

Siphoned the ones I could find out of the tank I know there are more. Don’t want to use FW Exit if I can keep from it and tank is too small for a wrasse. Time will tell might have to and sacrifice the pod population.
 
Siphoned out 5 more this afternoon and 7 yesterday evening. I know it’s not all of them but will continue until I don’t see anymore or they explode and I have to use FW Exit.
 
Acoel flatworm. Although deemed harmless can smother the light in SPS corals preventing Zooxanthelle from forming. Continue siphon method and consider adding a yellow coris or 6 lined wrasse.
Also for next 2 weeks, look closely for sign of eggs which are tiny. If you find any, scrape off Outside of tank
 
All you can do is go at it one battle at a time. Good luck!
Exactly seek and destroy missions hahahaha

they have been mainly on the glass I would assume they would be on the glass as well?
