He's the second I've spotted in a the tank over the last week or so. Am i right in saying its nothing to worry about and part of a new tank setup.

Acoel flatworm also called clear flatworm. Although of little threat to coral multiply quickly. They often appear with introduction of chaeto.
6 lined wrasses will usually eat them . Lunare wrasse also
If you see them on glass, net them into toilet

These guys feed on pods so their numbers will vary depending on the pod population.

Looks like a ghost flatworm, diet is pods. Wont harm anything but remove if you want.

Agree. Good biodiversity.

Thanks. The tank is a little over 2 weeks old and a decent amount of pods as they have no predators yet. I'll leave them be for the time being.

Reviving this instead of making a new thread since this came up in my search.

I setup an invert QT about 3 months ago for a batch of snails. Snails are now in DT and have some corals in the QT now.

I just discovered a couple of these ghost flatworms in the QT. I’ve got a teaming pod population and can actually see them gobble up pods off the glass.

do you know if these can wipe out a pod population?
They are interesting and I kinda like seeing them but don’t want to destroy the pod population.

I've had them for a while and they don't seem to do much to my pod population.

Pod no , However, if you chemically treat them with flatworm exit, it may affect them
