I agree, it looks like a ghost flatworm. Maybe someone else will see something I don't, but they're good.

Looks like an acoel flatworm. I had a few when my tank started out. I'd read they are not bad in small numbers but can cause issues if they over populate. I'd remove them as you see them but nothing to freak out about.

My vote is Female Melanurus Wrasse....there cool to watch..much prettier than the males....sleep under the sand at night and are great hunters.

I would leave that alone right now. See what it does. Nothing is going to happen in a few weeks. See if their numbers climb.

My suggestion would be a Leopard Wrasse. They are beautiful fish, don't bother other fish, and spend their days hunting for tidbits. Before I got my pair, I had tried manual removal, freshwater dips of all removable corals, and 2 rounds of FWE (the 2nd at double strength) Couldn't get rid of them. Within a couple weeks of the Blue Star Leopard Wrasse pair being introduced, there was no trace of one to be seen.
