I looked up really close to couple of my zoanthid colonies to find these little guys crawling all over them, and the rock surrounding them. They look very similar to the red bugs found on SPS. They are a lot smaller than flat worms.
I cannot say I have ever seen a pic of these guys before. They seem to be too small for my camera to get too.

So, I figured I would illastrate, they are a little bit smaller thank my life size, though. Unless they are moving its is near impossilble to spot them though. They are the same color as in my picture, and they do have ribbon like tail.
