For a while I have noticed red flake like things in my 6 gallon. For a while I didnt think anything of it, that was until I saw one of them moving across the glass. Still it was a major concern, after all, theres a lot of moving creatures in my tanks I cant ID. The zoos in the tank havent been looking good so I decided to move a colony to my 3 gallon where the lighting is much better, now I noticed the red things spreading there. I am begining to think that my tank is being taken over, can anyone help? Here are some pictures

Heres the 6 and then the 3 gallon

Planaria flatworms.

Flatworms.

Mandarins and scooters will pick at them, 6-line and coris wrasses will eat them.

Flatworm Exit works if they bother you or your corals to the point where you want them gone immediately.

How long have you had the clam in your 3g and how much do you have to dose for it?

I've had the clam for about a month and a half and I dont do any dosing. I rely on water changes twice a week to keep everything where it should be.
