No. That might be a chiton. If so not harmfull. For your flatworms if you don't want to use chemicals and have room for another fish try a six line wrasse. They are evil little buggers over time. I have a potters wrasse that helped out in my tank and he's been well behaved.

Those are chitons not flat worms, flat worms are fairly small and have no shell.

Those sound like they might be Stomatella Varia snails. They are harmless. I have tons of them in my refuge but none in my display something in the display is eating them but I don't know what.
