Very normal in new tanks! And a good sign. I get them in all of my saltwater tanks and they suddenly disappear after a month or so. Even my QT – no idea how they got in there but they did

Detritus worms. Theyau over populate and then you might see fewer.

Seconding rhabdocoela, I see them a lot in my 5 gal tank. I own a microscope and out of curiosity I had thrown one on a slide to look at to make sure it wasn’t planaria. You can actually see little eye spots under a microscope but they lack the arrow shaped head that planaria has.

As long as it isn’t hydra, scuds, leeches or planaria I wouldn’t worry too much.

Detritus worms I think, they won’t hurt anything
They also seem to stick around in these isolated groups mostly, but there are some stragglers
