There are flatworms that eat certain species of lps corals so make sure there is no damage on the coral. It could be just large red planaria but could also be something worse.

Hopefully someone can id.

I figured if i had an infestation of red planaria i would of found some on the fleshy stems of the palys, they were 3 inches away from the infested goni.

If you want to know if they are in your tank and not just the coral, then you have to blow off the rocks with a small power head or something and you will see them float off into the water column. Blow off every area of every rock because sometimes they are clustered more in certain spots only.
