I would recommend putting any new frag in some tank water in a separate contaier for a visual inspection before transferring it to the tank.
Also, when you get a frag with flatworms, they are on the base/rock/plug, not the coral. I break all new frags off the base as soon as I get them. Remount to your own plug, and you should be safe. I'd also prefer to have flatworms over these bugs!!

Really?
I suppose I understand the reason, If these little red bugs are killing/bothering your corals. So flatworms don't venture onto corals just rock? Any idea why? That helps a bunch!
