Definitely flatworms, but the species does not look familiar.
Watch their behavior when on the glass. If they are attempting to prey on copepods on your glass, they are harmless. |

Got em in my tank, get a wrasse. Harmless to corals, but they do breed heavily and grow in numbers. Free food.

oh great, and i didnt introduce anything except couple of snails. I dip all corals. I dont want them
 need to do some research how to get rid of them. I have a mandarin so dont want to introduce a wrasse because he will eat all my pods.

Check this out. (link below) Before you add any chemicals to the tank or a fish, you might want to try and siphon out as many as you can first. This is how I beat mine. GL.

That species of flatworm is harmless, they graze for copepods.
