Hi all , I’ve noticed some things in the glass they move like worms very slowly , are they flatworms ? (Near left side in middle , first pic) Sorry for bad pic they are very very small.

I also have another question , I have it seems like 100s of these small snails that popped up , what are they ? Should I try to eliminate them ? Thank you!’

Yes, flatworms and snails.

How long has the tank been set up? These appear to be typical hitchhikers. I had flatworms they came and went. I've had snails breed also, they come and go.

A bit over a year , the snails are everywhere! Lol and I just noticed the worms today , I have a six line wrasse so I’m gonna try to cut feeding for a coulple days and see if that encourages eating them , but I also think I have a billion amiphipods that are huge and are breeding too much in the refugium , so I’m not sure if it will even care for the flatworms

I never try to give advice at eliminating hate, lol. Flatworm exit is a potential solution.
I have a lot of big bristle worms to , and I have a trap that doesn’t work haha , I think I’m going to try feeding very sparingly and if that doesn’t work flatworm exit , I think they have been annoying my elegance coral as it has not opened up for a couple days
