please help ID these things

they are flat, they range in size from the size of a pen tip to the size of a eraser. If I touch them they let go of the glass and and float around till they touch something and grab on. There are about 20 to 30 of them, most of which are on the glass in the corner flo.

definitely flat worms and they're red so I'm guessing they're the ones that eat coral. if you have corals did you dip them before putting them in?

Get some Salifert Flatwork Exit. Kinda expensive, but works good. Make sure to do EXACTLY what it says on the directions and you won't have any problems.

I lied they are all over my mushrooms, but none on my ricordea mushroons.

I have seen these for a long time but thought they were part of the mushroom.

Now what do I do?
