flat worms. some arent bad, but some are REALLY bad.

Those ones fall in the "not bad" but maybe a nuisance category if the numbers get really high. My experience is they ebb and flow and sometimes disappear entirely.

 

They are eaten by some wrasses and feed on copepods.

Yes, it's a copepod eating flatworm. Scroll down 3/4 of a page at this link:

I had those in a tank 3 or 4 years ago. I added a melanurus wrasse and never saw them again

If you have any fish whose primary diet is pods, the worms might take away some of the food supply.
