Clear/Transluscent Flatworms

I've noticed in the past week a quickly increasing population of clear/tan/transluscent flatworm-type creatures on my glass. They are not on the rocks and are not the typical brown flatworms you'd see commonly. Any experience with these? What's the verdict? My tank is only 8 gallons so I'd like to eliminate them sooner than later if necessary.

If they're clear, no reason to remove them... They are good guys. The fish will eat them if they see them out during the day so free food.

Visit Melev's site to identify which ones you have to make sure.

Yeah, the clear one's tend to go away on their own.

You only want to remove the red one, altough be careful because they can be poisonous.
