These little guys showed up on the front glass today, never seen these flatworms before.
My tank had the red flatworms before on my euyphillia, but I dipped and they disappeared. It’s just these look a bit different than the ones I had before or maybe that’s how they look when they are little? I have two wrasses that don’t seem to eat any flatworms and I dose flatworm stop by KZ daily. Should I be concerned?

These are acoel flatworms and not as harmful as red planaria. You can siphon them with a 3/8” tube and discard. If many, a yellow, lunare or melanurus wrasse will eat them as well as a springieri damsel
Next 2 weeks, keep your eyes open for eggs which are very tiny
