Help ID on microscopic worms with pics and video

[stanleo]

I found them on my red montipora. The coral is growing well and there is no visible damage to it but this has me concerned. When viewing the coral with the naked eye it has white fuzz on it that looks like lint that blows off quite easily.

I took a pieces of the "lint" that is no bigger than the tip of a pen and looked at it through my microscope and it doesn't look white under the microscope and there are about fifteen of these red worms. I think they are flat but I'm not sure. I cannot see any eye spots like you would find on planaria. Can anyone ID this for me?

Here is a video. Sorry about the focus it is a new microscope and I haven't quite figured out the camera settings yet.

Here is a pic of one off by itself. I have googled and can't find a good match.

Looks like peanut worm but possibly also stomatella- pics very blue making it a little harder to make it out

Can’t really tell you what it is but that’s definitely not a stomatella. It’s shape and form is way too simple to be a stomatella snail.

you were very perceptive to see such small animals, I don't have the expertise yet to identify these but they might be a species of nematode or other small worm. i would not worry they are hurting the corals unless there is any stress symptoms or damage to the corals. most aquariums got strange microscopic worms but don't perceive them
