There are a bunch of spieces of planaria so it could still be planaria. You have to post a picture.
best bet is to find a fish that eats them...
I hate copper, personally. I find it has too many side effects...especially if you have any marine tanks, too. Use copper in the tank, and then try to have a reef in the same tank! NOT good.
Just a few considerations.

Almost all tanks have a few planaria in them but they go unnoticed, only when you have a lot do they become noticable, they usually lurk under things like rocks and feed on fish waste and leftovers. Keeping a very clean tank and carful feeding get rid of most of them, especially if you clean under the edges of all structure, scuds and glass shrimp eat them. There are several hundred species (here is a common one found in fish tanks, it gets up to 1/8" long). I don't treat for them but Parasite Guard (Jungle's), Fluke tabs (AP), and Clout will all kill them.
