Flatworm species

Any chance someone can help me identify what kind of flatworm?

No coral and no fish in the aquarium

Just use FWE. They're the most common kind.

Yeah, definitely a Convolutid (taxonomic family Convolutidae) flatworm - Ghost Flatworm (Amphiscolops sp.) would be my guess from the second pic too.

I had these for about 8 months. Came in on a urchin of all things. Spent a lot of money on Flatworm eXit. They were immune to it. Tank had both a six lined wrasse and 3 yellow tail damsels in it. Those did not eat the flatworms. At some point I replaced the yellow tail damsels with Azure damsels as the yellow tails were beating up a much more expensive new to tank yellow tang. I noticed almost right away that Azures were eating the flatworms. I no longer have flatworms.
