Hi everyone!
So, I noticed a bunch of this white things crawling all over the glass. Can someone please help me ID?
Should I get flatworm exit before they multiply even more?

Yup, flatworm buy the shape but the details in your picture are not helpful for a better ID.

They will do what they do and if they are eating coral or growing exponentially then you will need to intervene. Sometimes they are harmless and don’t breed into billions and physically smother coral they just carryon at low numbers and don’t bother anything. Take your time to observe their progression and behavior and study the possibilities for your reaction and plan to deal with them as they show their “colors.”
I have had them explode in numbers and added a wrasse and chemicals and I have also had them reappear and they didn’t hardly grow at all the second time? They weren’t eating coral so I just let them be and they went away completely on there own.
