They appear to be the non-problematic flatworms. They are tiny, and not red/brown. But I'd welcome more informed opinions.

Yes a flatworm, but like the red planaria they can multiply and become an issue if nothing is done. natural predators or simply siphon out with water changes is what I would do to get rid of them
 
No, that's not the Ghosties.

Yours aren't as problematic as the Convolutriloba and often can be found in a lot of people's tank at some time... but they aren't the "clear ones".
 
And nearly impossible to rid a tank of them without dosing the tank even with a predator wrasse that is hit and miss they reproduce fairly rapidly

Case in point this is a 8 oz cup at least an inch deep of flatties I dip and dip and dip still haven't rid all of them lol

I only ever see these if I let the glass dirty up. I assume they usually hang on in the sand.

I have a yellow wrasse, but haven't noticed him eating these. I do see him picking at the rocks though. Assuming he's eating pods.
 
I have them in a couple of my tanks along the waterline and/or just above the substrate.
