Freaking out!

Please tell me this is just a acoel flatworm?

And are these hydroids?

They’re little blobs with like 6 or 7 spikes that wave with the current

Sorry for poor quality picture, and thank you in advance!

Thank you, I know what stomatella are and can identify them. These are definitely flatworms.
I just would like to know if they are the pest kind.
