Zoanthid parasite?

Taking a closer look at my zoanthids today, I noticed this on a colony. I inspected two of the frags, and they seem to have a lot of them. They are new frags, so they much have made it past the dip. I see one or two on the nearby frags, but I only see them on zoanthids.

I could not get a picture, considering how small they were. But, since they are such a simple looking creature I figured I would illastrate one. I have never seen one of these before. They do have a ribbon tail like I illastrated.

I have had flatworms in the past, but these are smaller and skinnier.

Any ideas?
