These are acoel also called ghost flatworms and while Not desired are less of a concern opposed to red planaria. If a few only, siphon with a 3/8" tubing and discard. If many, add a wrasse which will eat them such as Yellow coris, melanurus, lunare or 6 lined. Also a springieri damsel will eat themFound these on my new coral? Are they harmful?

Yes, that is a Green Mandarin with his back to me.
It's a Green Mandarin. Less than half an inch long. I was being silly asking if it was big enough to eat the flatworms. It's about half as big as the Harlequin shrimp.pic a little fuzzy to confirm
