I found this pest on my zoas and now they are all over. What the heck are they?? They are making my zoas angry and I have lost a couple of polyps, please help I’m desperate. They are very small and are a tiny red pin point on the zoas moving around. Here is a picture at 100x. What are they and what do I do to treat them??

It looks like flatworms
 
Are fat worms typically larger?? Also, are there known flatworms that affect zoas?? Looking how best to deal with these

In massive numbers they can cause zoas/palys to close. Haven't seen any ever predate on them but they definitely do agitate them in big numbers.

That’s everything I can find as well. These things are small and nothing like the ones I’ve seen pictures of on here.
