I just started seeing these flatworms in my tank after I introduced a couple of RFAs (which I didn’t dip cause I saw very mixed info on dipping them and thought it’d be safe to introduce). Their numbers aren’t large so I’m trying to manually remove them as I see them and hoping my LFS gets a pink streaked in soon (I want one regardless if it eats flatworms or not). I’m hoping they’re just red planaria and not a more dangerous flatworm that’ll damage my corals.

Looks like red planaria to me too
