The first picture is of something that appears to live on the glass. I have several of them. Does anyone know what they are?
Also, I recently bought polyps and this appeared with them on the rock. They aren't many of them and I thought they looked like xenia, but unsure. Thanks.

i have the same thing on my glass as pic 1 but mine are orange is that the bad kind.
They can smother corals and kill them. Siphon out as much as possible, you'll have to do it for weeks. There is a chemical by Salifert called Flatworm Exit, I've never used it because I always heard mixed reviews and I'm not a huge fan of putting chemicals in the tank. I got rid of mine with siphoning and the help of a sixline wrasse and a spotted mandarin. (The wrasse was a bad idea in the long run and I could have done it without him). It took about three weeks and I lost pipe organ coral in the process because the flatworms just smothered it from the light.
By the way, the second pic with the polyps, that looks like my old pipe organs did. They can smother your zoas, I'd pluck them out.
