Critter ID Please

I woke up this morning and found 14 of these strange little guys creeping up my glass in my saltwater tank. Can anyone help ID these? I have searched high and low and can not find anything similar.

Those are predatory flatworms. Amphiscolops sp. "Ghost Flatworm" They mostly feed on pods. I'd syphon out what you can and keep an eye out for more. They won't hurt coral but you don't want them multiplying in large numbers either. Certain fish like wrasses will eat them.

Thank you! I will research how to get rid of them.
