Is my assumption of flatworms correct?

Agreed, doesn't look like a typical flatworm. @KJ you ever seen anything like this before?

Flatworms alright but not the kind that will go after your corals.
AEFW will set them selfs on acros.
Planaria are smaller and look kinda rusty/red color.
My suggestion is syphon them out as much as you can.
If you have a wrasse like a yellow cirrus, Melanurus or leopards they do a great job on getting them under control.
Dragnets do a great job as well.
I'm not so much advocating on using flatmorm exit.

I can’t load the video i have of the other one i saw today, but here is still shots...i do have a leopard and a melanarious in there, but only as of today have i actually seen these critters out on rock. I’m assuming they are the cause of my corals demise since i dipped and these came off

Ok thanks all...someone else mentioned polyclads to me...i haven’t had a chance to look it up yet..not sure if that may perk and idea from anyone. But looking quick that just seems like a broad name for flatworms
