Im not sure what I should be looking at, but flatworms are very tiny. If its larger and kinda worm like, it might be a stomatalla (sp?) snail

Hard to say from the pictures. Try googling flatworms and see if it looks like the pictures that come up.

Reef'd Up Aquatics: Aquarium Pests: Acropora-Eating Flatworms (AEFW)

I think it looks like this yellow orange flatworm, acropora eating flatworm, not reef safe. I got most of them out. We do not have acropora so I am going to try to pick them out for now.
Thanks,

Flatworm eXit by Salifert.. It works great. Just have a water change handy since flatworms release toxins when they die that could crash your tank.

I would use the Flatworm Exit just to be on the safe side. You will not be able to remove all of them by siphoning. By the time you see them, there are many more you can't see living in the rocks and sand. Flatworm Exit is easy to use and safe for your other tank inhabitants.
