I forgot to put in the whirfloc tablet when I was brewing yesterday. The brew is fermenting pretty heavily right now. Can I still put it in?
 
Nope...you need the heat of the boil for whirlfloc/irish moss to do it's thing. You can use other fining agents in the fermenter however....gelatin, isinglass & super kleer come to mind (but don't do anything until fermentation is finished)

...or, don't. It will be fine if you don't.
