I have these on the glass of a display refugium.

Any thoughts would be great.

Thanks for the time.

Flatworm, looks like the benign variety. I would not be too concerned. Watch for an increase in population.
 
Amphiscolops (Ghost Flatworms) Feed on Copepods.
 
OK so we have 1 it's ok and 1 kill them all.

Anyone else.

Thanks again for the time.

As stated its a non parasitic type of flatworm. They don't feed on corals but copepods. Numbers tend to come and go depending on pod population. I personally dont worry about them .
 
They get to live. They will be happy. I will keep an eye on the the population.

Have a good one everyone,

I remove them if I see them collecting somewhere. They won't hurt anything, but I've had them get to plague levels before wish was a bit of an eyesore
