I was acclimating fish and after I turned the lights on, I saw these new flatworms. I have had acoel flatworms, but they’ve been much smaller. These are a lot bigger. Is it possibly these acoels getting bigger at night, or something from the bag may have leaked while acclimating fish and snails? What do you think it could be?

Yes, planaria.
Remove by siphoning with 3/8” tubing
Look for next 2 weeks for presence of eggs which are very tiny.
If many, add wrasse such as:
Yellow coris
6 line
Lunare
Melanurus

Plan to get a sixline wrasse soon. Was planning to keep it about a month after I added these fish. That’ll be my last fish.
 
IME (and many will agree), the 6line will become a terror. There are many less aggressive wrasses that will serve the same purpose.
Unfortunately, since I have a Biocube 32, that’s my only option because the pink streaked wrasse is incredibly rare and sells out in a matter of an hour or so on LA and other place when they get one in stock after a few months of not being able to and my fish store also can’t get a hold of the Possum wrasses either. Plus, quite frankly, they’re kinda scary looking. So I was planning on getting a sixline after all my fish established their territories and grew out enough to be much bigger than a juvenile sixline. But I’m not dismissing the fact that they can be terrors, that’s what’s unfortunate
