I just booked a digital camera at work, I should have some pictures posted within an hour or so. Then we can confirm if these are flatworms.

I found when using airline to siphon them if you just let them drain in to a bucket and rest for a while. They will all grab on to something and then you can slowly pour the water back into the tank leaving them high and dry in the bucket.

I wouldn't pour it back.. I'd consider it a small water change and put new water in.. what if some float back or they start releasing their toxins?

If you got some water mixed and ready you might as well use it.
If not granted 1 or 2 flatworms may end up back in the tank, But they just get vacumed up the next time. As for relesing the their toxin's it didnt seem to be a problem I used this method in my 10 Gal nano with no ill effect.

BTW I tried to upload this photo into my post but because I uploaded 3 other photos in the pictures gallery, I have maxed out my limit. So I linked it to my RC gallery

Yeah, I can't see anything from that.

But from your description it sounds like the exact same red flatworms I have in my refugium, but their quantities are so low I don't worry about them.

Photopost seems to be a bit cranky so I put them on my photobucket account.
