Flatworms crawl on anything, doesn't matter what it is. I had an infestation in my 28 and they were on all 4 sides of the glass,sand, rocks and corals. The only place they weren't at, was on the fish.

Nah thats a pod they are good. They act as food and they clean up a little. And if you can't see it it's in between that hermit and the Coraline algea

Definitely a flatworm.
