umax5555 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Can anyone ID this? It's about half the diameter of a pencil and attached to the glass. Baby snail? Link to comment
amphipod Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Looks like a flatworm, maybe im wrong Link to comment
umax5555 Posted March 23, 2015 Author Share Posted March 23, 2015 Are they bad for the tank? Link to comment
amphipod Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Usually no, how long has it been since last addition to the tank, and what all lives in the tank? Link to comment
vuqchu Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Looks like a poly clad worm. I would yank it if you can catch it. Link to comment
umax5555 Posted March 23, 2015 Author Share Posted March 23, 2015 Added a small frogspawn yesterday and noticed it late last night. Mostly Zoas, Acans, Feather Duster mostly simple stuff. He moves slow as anything, like a snail. Not fast at all. Link to comment
amphipod Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Do you have any clams or mussels in the tank? The worm looks like it healing from a severe injury, possibly attacked by another creature maybe 2 weeks ago Link to comment
ndrobey Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 If you see it eating algae off the glass, then it is probably just a peaceful algae eater. But if it isn't eating algae, then I'd sacrifice it to the porcelain god. Link to comment
umax5555 Posted March 24, 2015 Author Share Posted March 24, 2015 Decided to remove it last night. Didn't want to take any chances. Thanks everyone. Link to comment
seahorsedreams Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 It was a regular flatworm. Convolutriloba. Link to comment
