Do I have an infestation of baddies? I literally have hundreds of these things all over my glass.
These are not likely the "bad" ones. I'm pretty sure they're the harmless/beneficial ones. I would just let them be. The vast majority of flatworms are not problem critters... and even the "bad guys" aren't as bad as some people like to say they are. It's just that some flatworms have more a propensity to have population explosions that can just cover the tank. But again, I don't think these are the type... if you only have a few here and there, I'd say you might even be happy to have them. Some fish do enjoy snacking on them...

The flat worms tend to find their place in the ecosystem that is your tank, a population explosion followed by a stabilisation of sustainable life, you feed more they grow more etc, a 6 line wrasse or a few other FW eating fish are around to help.

Congrats Viper - I too HAD many of these little flatworms. They are DEFINITELY reef safe... I too worried about them in the beginning. But never saw ANYTHING bad come from them..... Either they help as a cleanup crew - or as food!
