I am not entirely sure those are Flatworm, at least not a type I have seen before.
Did you just add this piece?
Are the corals still opening?
Are you only seeing these two?

TIA
Yes all corals are open I had these palys for good couple of weeks now

No idea what they are, maybe @ISpeakForTheSeas will know?

The bottom one does have the characteristic flatworm shape, but they're awfully thick.
Tentatively ID'ed as an Amphiscolops species, but I haven't been able to confirm the accuracy of that yet - if you do a Google image search for "Amphiscolops sp.05" a worm basically exactly like these should be the first image (the site it's on is great, but it has started requiring a free login to access the photos on the site directly; going to Google gets around it for specific searches).
