White Flatworm Looking Things

[Europhyllia]

I should have known better but I didn't quarantine my newest addition and I just saw some white flatworm looking things on the overflow.
They are presumably of Florida origin.
They almost seem calcified. I scrape them off with my finger nail.
So what are they? any clues?

Do they look like a flat with rolly pollie? I have seen those, but don't know what they are. Does it have a hammerhead like a FW? The only white FW I have seen are AEFW. Can you get a pic of it?

They really look just like a little egg. A white oval. No tails like a flatworm. When I scrape them off they don't seem to be alive. Maybe they are something else. Not sure what though. I have gotten them once before presumably from the same source (yes how dumb am I -I just don't learn -should have quarantined...)

sorry no pics. I saw 5 and immediately scraped them off.

Oh those are some kind of egg, I think it's a snail egg.

They are big though. I'd say maybe 2-3mm

Too bad, you could have had flatworm eating flatworms.

I saw that link too and was going to give them away to MAASTards for Christmas until I noticed mine don't match that picture.
