Looks like an acoel flatworm to me. Is it see-through with a yellowish center?

I had two of them in my tank when I picked up some frags from a local reefer and didn't dip my corals. I've heard they are good, but I suctioned them out with a turkey baster anyways...just to be on the safe side.

Was it hard to get them off the glass. Flat worms would be very easy to get off the glass, that's why they don't like strong current. Also if they have not been getting light and or nutrition they will turn more of a white color then the brown color.

Is it a six gallon? For now I would just suction them out as you see them. If they happen to get out of control you could get a Blue Velvet Nudibranch, but I believe this Nudi only eats flatworms, so you would pretty much have to have an endless supply of flatworms for it or it would die of starvation.
