Default Worms in Tank

Guys need some help, I saw some white worms on the tank and some flat and bigger size worms on the soil and crawling in and out? Can I just leave it or i have to get rid of it?

100% water change + salt will get rid of the worms.. as well as most of your shrimps.

Put some fishes like boraras and tettra. Even if they won't eat the worms, one curious bite kills it.

Been discussed many times before, introduce fishes, build traps & dose medication you name it.
It is a real headache for shrimp tank, it might comes along with newly purchased plants or mosses too.
Shrimps are able to dart away from full grown planarias but the real threat is small planarias even not easy to detect by shrimps, if you see a shrimp keep darting and die eventually it might be attacked by small planarias...

Good luck. Please reduce feeding as for now.
