Hoping someone can help ID the following critter. Was probably about half an inch in length. I tried to lift it out with tweezers and it was so delicate it split in two at the faintest touch. Siphoned both pieces out.

I would guess a flat worm or baby nasarius but looking for some guidance please.

Prosthiostomid flatworm of some variety - they're predatory toward inverts and sometimes corals.

Thanks. Do you know if flatworm exit works on this variety? If not, is the best solution to dip all corals?
