They do appear to be flatworms.

Things that can help:

*Thorough cleaning of the tank (they tend to bloom when there is excess debris back in the rock work and substrate)
*Sixline Wrasse
*Mandarin Dragonettes (but these have their own issues)
*Flatworm Exit (if it gets bad; potent stuff)

Has the (Caulastrea? Euphyllia?) been receding for a while? How do your other corals look? I think the most prudent thing would be a good cleaning and water change- a few of those should go a long way to improving the issue.
