aefw's are not red. they are more clearish to light brown. They are also very difficult to see with the naked eye, even after you know what you are looking for. the damage is easier to see than the critters themeselves

any chacne of a pic of what you have?? it would help be sure, but most likely (if you have flatworms and not something else) it is just common planaria that can get huge numbers and be an eyesore. they can easily be killed in tank, but if you have tons of them there is serious risks involved when the flatworms die and release toxins, so before you treat with flatworm exit you need to manually remove as many as you can, and then use Saliferts flatworm exit according to directions and it is safe, but do NOT take for granted how many flatworms you have and make sure you have the population down to a dealable level before you treat.
