how long can they last w/o a host? i found some brown ones on my glass. At first i thought they were algae but they move when touched

I'm no expert, but I think that would depend on what type of flatworm you're talking about.

I had some in a past tank that were small and seemed harmless, but just kept multiplying until they were all over the rock and glass. That was until I nailed them with a couple treatments of flatworm exit. They never returned.
