Do you have any clearer pics? They do look like flatworms though.

They are so small that is the best pic I can get so far.
Are all flatworms bad? If so how do you get rid of them?

Yep. look like flatworms. Punch it in the search. Lots of flatworms threads and treatments.

That is why I do a flatworm exit dip on all new corals entering my tank. Anyway if they are flatworms I understand it is best to treat them now, instead of waiting for them to multiply.
