Hi,
Last weekend I picked up a frag and a nice plate coral. The frag looked a bit suspicious, but nevertheless I put it in the tank.
Three days later I've noticed these things crawling on the front glass panel:

I've collected the ones I could see but I bet there are more I cannot see. Are these flatworms?

What can I do to stop an invasion?

I know I should have QT, but FWIW I don't have good lights for it and I don't dip either since it seems a bit harsh for the already stressed corals.
TIA

a dose of flatworm exit would probably do the job
