Flat, orangish bugs

I got them at a frag swap in Oct- at first a few on the glass- now everywhere. How do i get rid of them?

sounds like Flatworms.
Depending on your level of infestation, a six line wrasse could be beneficial, or if its a really bad infestation, Flatworm Exit made by Salifert.

I've never used it but from other threads I have read, it works well - a key thing to do is remove as many of them as possible, BEFORE using FWE, and do a water change soon after so the toxins produced by the dying flatworms dont do further damage to your tank.
this guy has a good strategy on removal/eradication:
