Are these some sort of flatworm or baby snail? They are smaller than the head of a pin. Some of them are moving around. I didn't notice them yesterday and now there is a good bit on my front and back glass.

I have added two turbos, some nassarius, cerith, nerite, astrea, and trochus snails. A cleaner shrimp, a tuxedo urchin, and an emerald crab. Plus some bristle worms from the live rock I purchased.

I have not seen any adult flatworms.

No fish as I'm preparing to get some in a QT this week.

Yeah, ghost flatworms - mostly harmless, but it's still suggested to remove them; some fish like wrasses reportedly enjoy eating them.
