help identifying flatworm

[Reeper]

 

Not sure if this is planaria. Caught two in tank housing my shrimps. Their black not red or clear cant see any eyes. Manage to kill it with aquarium salt and water. Help if anyone knows what this is would be great dont want it harming my shrimps.

Did the 'worm' have an arrow shaped head? If so, it is almost certainly planaria.

No didnt have an arrow head. Its rather fat. Almost looked like theres a white lining around its black body. As it moves it looks like one end is fatter than the other (tapers to a thinner end). First one was on a dead old shrimp found on its body. This was found sitting on the glass of the aquarium. Should i just get some shrimp safe planaria meds?

Still sounds like a planaria. I'd dose with anti-planaria meds.
