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:
