red flat worms

I noticed some red flat worms on my ricordia today. Are they a bad pest that cause damage? I think I am going to get a target mandarin or six line or something that eats worms.

If they are planaria I don't know them to cause problems per se but if concentrations get too high they do become unsightly...
And don't count on either of those fish doing the job for you been there done that!

I'll have to look into flat worm exit. I know nothing about it. SO there arent any fish that will eat these things?
