Your tank looks very nice. I did not see any flatworms in your
pictures, but they can be pretty hard to see. If you only have a few, I
would suggest trying to get some Salifert Flatworm Exit. Should work
very well for you.

I had big problems with planaria some years ago, they reproduce very
fast and were taking over the tank. I eventually decided to treat
them chemically with levamisole, this is an antiparasitic drug used in
veterinary medicine, you may be able to get it locally, I don't know.
Sorry can't remember the dose rate I used. Using this compound is
*not* ideal on a reef, the drug kills all nematodes (roundworms) and
that will damage your ecosystem, I'd only do that if you really have
no alternative.

I see there are claims that biological control is possible. That may
be better. See these creatures:

The dangers of flat worms are exaggerated, but they don't
look very nice when they populate in large numbers. The
danger is when they start covering your corals. When this
happens they can slowly smother the coral. Often the flat
worms will disappear on their own, especially if the
nutrient levels in the tank are reduced.
