I would say it’s almost impossible to get the camera to focus on these things lolYep, flatworm. Hopefully just an acoel in a weird position. Can you take another couple of pictures of them moving around?
They’re mostly gray some of them have a red spot I don’t know if that’s food they’ve eaten, maybe my red mushrooms, or they are the bad kind. Majority just grey thoughIf they don't have a redish tint to them I wouldn't be too concerned. You can however get a wrasse to clean them up. I use a springer damsel and a spotted mandarin as well. Utility fish all the way.
Toxic in what way?That's a red planarian flatworm. From what I am told, very toxic in high numbers. Is that the only one you see? Remove every fw with a siphon of some form.
If they die in a high volume number, they can kill everything in your entire tank.Toxic in what way?
Oh brilliant lol so how do you remove them without killing them? If I scrape the glass that would kill thenIf they die in a high volume number, they can kill everything in your entire tank.
Here's an article from melevs. You may have multiple flatworm species, but the first one is for sure a red planarian.How to eliminate Flatworms (Red Planaria) | Melev's Reef

Siphon, like a turkey baster or an air pump hose line. That shouldn't kill them.Oh brilliant lol so how do you remove them without killing them? If I scrape the glass that would kill then
I’ve got a turkey baster I’ll get some of them off tomorrow. What fish are natural predators of these guys?Siphon, like a turkey baster or an air pump hose line. That shouldn't kill them.
3 tip tail for top one.Looks like maybe a ghost flatworm to me. It's not red enough for red planaria, is it?
Melanuras wrasse, yellow coris, six line, but hit and miss with all predators.I’ve got a turkey baster I’ll get some of them off tomorrow. What fish are natural predators of these guys?
All of those okay in a Red Sea 170? Unsure on size requirements for such fish. Only other stock would be 2 clownfish3 tip tail for top one.

Thats 44g. If you can find them at the smaller size, they may take to flatworm easier. I really never had to go through flatworm removal. All I got is what others sayAll of those okay in a Red Sea 170? Unsure on size requirements for such fish. Only other stock would be 2 clownfish
