Are these acropora eating flatworms?

These fell off of some new acros when I dipped them in Bayer. I assumed they were the acro eating type, but now I'm not 100%. Can anyone confirm?

I would say those are not AEFW's, IMHO. They look more like a species of juvenile Chitons or similar pods... @KJ , #reefsquad

You're the second person to suggest chitons, but I'm fairly certain they weren't. I've always had chitons. I even have a specimen jar with several colors and sizes.

These were soft bodied. Another person suggested they might be stomatella snails. Another negative there. I'm familiar with those as well.

The coloration that you see were internal body structures.

The coloration resembles polyclad flatworms to me. How do they move?

they look a lot like these I just found online?

Isopod serolid. Algae grazer.

Regardless of good bad , I would quarantine the the whole batch of coral. Coming from a guy that usually doesn’t quarantine.I usually dip and bast and check with a lens. Good luck

I think that could be it. Some of the pictures online look almost identical to mine.
