There is a bunch of these little organisms that kind of reminds me of a snail or a slug, They are quite small, I tried figuring out what they were online and I can’t find anything on them. They have a tail with two tips and look to be moving vary slowly.

Flatworm, someone else may ID... there are thousands of species but we see several regularly.

Some are TERRIBLE and some are less terrible.

What do you recommend I do?

Flatworms, they're really annoying. You can use wrasses, mandarins, flatworm exit and or a mixture of both.
They're not "Bad" but extremely prolific and they can eventually smother coral with a high enough concentration
 
Flatworms. They are super common but multiply like crazy. Flatworm exit is the best way to go if you have a large population. A few wrasses will help control them but doesn't completely annihilate them

Shine a light on it and take a photo. Will be easier to tell if it's the less problematic kind.
 
looks like a white one - not harmful but can be nuisance if population explode. usually self-regulates in a properly maintained tank.
