Please help identify this "flatworm"?
After getting a bag of plants from my lfs for my fuge i started noticing theese flatworm like creatures in my fuge, they have since started multiplying. I am a bit nervous but they do not look like the flatworms that i have had in the very distant past, those were more red in color. Can anyone help identify please?

It looks like a small Turbellarian to me , unlike the dreaded red planarians this flatworms pray on the smaller copepods in our systems and usually don;t persist for very long.
I'd go as far as to say these are harmless...
