MrLang Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Been looking around and can't find a picture that looks like what I have seen a couple of. Looks like a tiny slug maybe 1/2 cm long brownish yellow but at one end it has 2 white hairs and at the intersection of these white hairs is a bright red spot. I think the ones I saw, thie hairs and red spot were on the back end - it was moving with this area behind it as it moved. I thought it looked most like a baby stomatella and I do have several of these in my tank, but I couldn't make out a shell and the 2 white hairs were on the back side, which seemed weird to me. Any thoughts? I'll try to get a picture of one but not optimistic. Link to comment
GokesReef Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Sounds like a type of Nudibranch Link to comment
ndrobey Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 A picture of it would help. Link to comment
Weasel Baron Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 eh? sounds like a flatworm from your description Link to comment
MrLang Posted February 24, 2015 Author Share Posted February 24, 2015 I found a few on the glass when I got home last night. It was a flatworm. MY VERY FIRST PEST - I'M KIND OF EXCITED. I wonder how long that will last... I siphoned about 4 large ones and 5-6 very very small ones off the glass last night. This morning only 1 there - basted that sucker. Anyone else find sucking out pests with a turkey baster to be extremely satisfying? It was bound to happen. Just going to keep up with it and hope I don't see any issues arise. Link to comment
Weasel Baron Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 keep an eye on the situation, they can explode in terms of population. While its still early it may be worth hitting the tank w/ a dose of flatworm exit and killing the problem before it gets serious Link to comment
