Flat worm
 
it look like Amphiscolops sp.01 acoel flatworm, Ghost Flatworm, Or can be Red planaria, but I can't be sure from your photo. Take one on white lights only Please, or google it and compare with yours.

Some of this shape worms are very bad, some are harmless.
 
I have those too and they are reddish in color. Flat worm! They can be toxic to everything if they die in your tank. A six line Wrasse fish eats them. I just got the fish yesterday and he is in high heaven! Flatworms are also attracted to light at night, so I use a flashlight to attract them and suck as many out as I can.
 
Cool ive been real close getting a 6 line so guess i have to now ;)

read about the Wrasses, some are better than others. Some are completely harmless some are a bit bad. And no all 6 line are the same :)
 
I have 32 gallon though think be ok in there?
I see somecsay yes some say no
 
depend on the size you buying it, many people are getting them just for the purpose of cleaning, and when they grow, sell/give them to people with bigger tanks
 
Fyi thinking the ghost flatworm thanks everyone for your help really appreciate it!
