would picking up a six line wrasse get rid of them? or atleast control them enough not to seriously harm the coral anymore?

They in numbers can smother bases of this coral and block the needed light as well for production of zooxanthellae which is their energy source.
Removal can be accomplished by siphoning them with a 3/8" tubing into a nylon stocking and discard
OR
Add a wrasse such as Yellow coris, 6 line, lunare or malanurus OR even a springieri damsel which will eat them

With the number you have, for the next 2 weeks you will have to look for eggs and scrape off as there is likely some and would be future acoels. Eggs are really tiny

Sixline wouldn't hurt, but for instant removal freshwater dip the hammer for 2 or 3 seconds with a shake in ro that's close to your tanks temp. They will fall right off and give your hammer some relief.
