Oo that's weird. @ISpeakForTheSeas ?
Any chance you can pull them out in a container of tank water for some clearer pics? Also, does it have two little "horns" or "antennae" on it's head?

So after watching these little grubs. I think it's a type of flatworm.

They are round. They are about 3mm max. The one in Tuesdays pictures is the biggest I have seen. That may also be 2 different species. The one looks like a common white flatworm. But idk. My main concern is if they are parasitic eating my good inverts.
My best guess from the pics would be a Prosthiostomid flatworm (taxonomic family Prosthiostomidae) of some kind - I haven't looked too in depth at the family yet, but they're predatory toward inverts and sometimes corals.
