Being on the glass, it is probably harmless.

Get some flatworm exit, you do not want a population explosion trust me on this! Oh and maybe siphon out any you see on the glass, where there's one there's more.

Not all flatworms are created equal. That doesn't look like the red/brown ones that take over a tank or an AEFW. Some are harmless and this one looks like one of those. Always best to make sure.

Acoel Flatworms
There are many kinds of flatworms. These are harmless photosynthetic ones. Take note of the shape. This is a post from Ashlar's Reef diversity Bingo. Kinda looks like one of them, doesn't it.

Acole flatworms exisit in almost every coral reef tank. They are just so small folks don't usually notice them. I think of them as part of my ecosystem. If they were Planaria flatworms that would be a diffrent story all together.

Did not know that about not all flatworms being bad. Thanks for the info.
