Torch worm

I just pulled this guy off my angry torch coral. I know it's a flatworm but should I be concerned?

Theres what looks like eggs on the torch.

Yes! That is a flat worm that specializes in killing torches. Scrape any eggs off and gently dip. The big sucker that came with one of my torches was living right in the head it was gross. I was able to get it out by catching it when I dipped and pulled it out. Still gives me the heebie-jeebies. Keep checking for a while it will spread to other torches. I only had one but he was big

Flatworm exit time? How do I treat? How often should i use the exit to accommodate for their life cycle

I can move my 6 line into my 20g to kill them out if that will help...

What is the species as well?
