So I have been treating for AEFW for the last 2-3 weeks. i just went through my 3rd round of dipping, 30 or so acro frags and this little bugger was all i could find. I use solo cups, dip each frag individually and pour the dip and contents through a papertowel then I inspect for eggs and bite marks. i still cant find any eggs but i still have worms somehow. anyways, using a friend's $30 USB microscope i snapped this shot. pretty colors, to wreak so much havoc.

I don't think those are flatworms, kind of looks more like a small chiton. Next time check to see if it has a shell or not...
