Here is a link to Melev's reef site, and link to how he got rid of them in his aquarium. Bristle worms most people will suggest keeping them as they do help to oxygenate your substrate.

yep the first one is a clear flatworm, they are harmless. the will die off in time.

the second is a common bristleworm. good scavenger to help keep the tank clean.
