New to the forum and need some help
These flatworms started appearing about 3 weeks ago. They seem to just stay on the glass.
Before they turn into a huge problem, I want to eradicate them. I don't want to go the chemical route though. What would eat these and what type of flatworm are they? Would a yellow coris or sixline wrasse or any other reef safe fish eat these? Thanks for the help.

I wouldn't worry about them, their population are normally self limiting according to the amount of food in the tank.

While the above statement might be true, I would still manually remove as many as you can each day. A tank full of these things is not very attractive IMO. You might want to nip it in the bud. This link should help you out.
