What do flat worms look like, if anyone has a picture that would be great, or if anyone is really good at describing things that would be ok. Please forgive my ignorance but why are they bad for a system?

They cover the coral shading it from the light.
They propogate too fast (out of control).
Some people think they look ugly.

Since were on the subject, I read on reefcentral today where someone was saying that a good way to control this type of flatworm was by removing silicates from your tank.

Anyone else heard of this?
