Found this starfish looking thing on the glass and when I scraped it off it moved like a jellyfish. I looked around the glass and found around 6 more. My tank is cycling with two clownfish. Ammonia 0, Nitrite 0, and Nitrate 0. Is this critter dangerous to future fish or corals? Thank you for any help.

Hopefully this thread appears again, but I need another critter ID. I was feeding the fish and noticed a slug like thing on the glass.

Yesterday I added fish and coral from my 9 gallon to my 150 gallon. I’m not sure if this was in the 9 gallon and came with the fish, but anything helps. Thank you
 
that's a flat worm
Yep, red Planaria. Mostly harmless, but can get to plague proportions and smother certain kinds of coral. Be careful using things like flatworm exit to get rid of them as they release toxins when they die and a mass die-off can nuke your tank.
