flatworm?

i know this isn't a good photo, but wasn't having luck getting a better one. a bunch of these came in on a torch coral, the were clinging to bag and left the torch on their own the hour or so they were in the bag. not sure why. only thing i could think of was the heat in the cooler got a little high like 82, maybe they didn't like that. i dipped with bug out, and seachem dip. nothing else came off. i didn't do H202 this time. they swim like leaches, and are only a few milimeters long. third one is one next to a squished one. sadly i'm also thinking that gill flukes came in on the coral too based on what my tang is doing.

Looks like a Polyclad Flatworm. Have you added any new corals?

You need to report that to the source of the coral. Polyclad are nocturnal, you should keep an eye out.

This is one circumstance where I would just chuck the coral unless you have a QT setup for coral.
