Hello all! So I finally have experienced flatworms! I just spotted one a few minutes ago. I then sent him down the sink, and then immediately realized I should have taken a picture first haha. Looked online, and this is pretty much what he looked like.
I looked through the tank and spotted a good amount of babies, or at least what I believe to be, as they are much smaller, but are also a different color. Not sure what they came on. They are currently in a 10 Gallon QT tank with Zoas, a torch, a galaxea, and sympodium. What would be the best way for me to go about dealing with these guys? I would like to ensure I do not move any of them into the main frag tank.
Oh, and might as well ask for an ID while I’m at it. Thank you!

Get rid of 'em quickly, they breed like crazy and overwhelm the tank. I've a massive flatworm problem which I will attempt to deal with over the next couple of days.
