There are a LOT of these black/brown dots in my Zoa tank. Can anyone ID them and tell me how to get rid of them.

Need a better picture. Pull one out and photo in a dish. Do they move.

A total guess at this point would be flat worms.

@KJ and the #reefsquad can help.

Flatworms. Suck out as much as you can and maybe use Flatworm exit I think it is called, to kill them. Add extra carbon, they will poison your tank whenthey die.

Get a 1/4" stainless steel straw and 1/2" hose, use this device to suck them out. Got this idea from a reefer on this site.
