Have these in both of my tanks, dont see them on any coral really, just now seeing them on the plugs of my ricordea but not really on the coral, mostly just the glass. Hoping someone can identify and give me some advice! Thanks in advance

Looks like acoel flatworms.
Pita to remove. Halichoeres Chrysus, Halichoeres leucoxanthus, springeri damsel might eat them.

Flatworm exit just isn't very effective on these things.

They eat pods, can smother coral if they reach extreme numbers.

I have a 15g and a 6g tank so the wrasses are a no go. What do the eggs look like? Because i dont see any eggs on my corals like you usually would.

I dunno, my eyes aren't that good any more. You'll need to manually remove what you can. Springeri, might help if you got room for a small fry.
