if they bother you, just use some flatworm exix. That will get rid of them. Read the instructions carefully though and have carbon on-hand. It is reef safe but the dead flatworks can be toxic.

I'm not convinced these are worms. Get a close up shot of one of them in a shallow dish of water looking down from the top. The bottom of the foot view isn't terribly useful and the other view isn't clear enough to see anything.

This is a little bit difficult because , despite the fact that are very small when i touch them to pull them out , they turn into a very small dot

In my experience flatworms are much "flatter", nearly wide as they are long and nearly transparent. I'm not for sure what your little guys are.

Use a medicine dropper or turkey baster or even a siphon hose to suck them up and squirt them into a shallow disk for pictures.
