I'm dealing with those same exact guys right now. I did 2 doses of flatworm exit and they are still some around. I am going to do another dose on fri or sat and try upping the dose to get rid of them all. If you plan on doing flatworm exit make sure YOU READ ALL DIRECTIONS AND FOLLOW THEM THOROUGHLY. Check out my ID THIS thread for more info.

That flatworm looks clear. The clear flatworms generally don't cause problems; they cruise around eating small pods and being eaten by other things. They also can't explode out of control like the photosynthetic ones do.

I wouldn't worry about it.

That one does not look harmful, I think I had some of that flat worm years ago(I had seen a couple dozen at the time), and then they just all vanished. If it bothers you enough, you can get a 6-line wrasse to clean house for you. I would leave it alone. I have never been a big fan of adding chemical to my tank to kill something. I think a biological solution is better and far less risky.
