Help with ID - flatworms?

[plakatos]

Hi,
I was on a one week vacation in florida (it was great, saw lots of marine life, see e.g. below), and when I came back, I discovered these creatures crawling on my aquarium glass.



Are they flatworms? If so, should I use flatworm exit? Besides a few hitchikers I still only have a few snails and hermit crabs in my aquarium.



Also, while I was swimming near Bahia Honda Key in the seaweed I discowered this little (about 3 inch) fish in the third picture. He was in shallow, about 1 foot water. Do you know what it might be?

Thank you,
Peter

those are flat worm ,you will need to do a FWE treatment and have carbon and some fresh made saltwater.you will have to run the carbon after the treatment as well as a water change\

Falt worms release toxin when they die ,if you have lots of them ,then they could posion the tank .sothe carbon and water change should take care of it

I would do this treatment for 2 weeks ,every 4 days with a major water change

Thank you!
Yes, the fish was in wildwater, pretty close to shore, so I had time to go out and grab my camera.
