Angel Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 Looks like a type/variation of a flatworm. Good luck with 'em because they are a huge PITA. Link to comment
AReeferIsExpensive Posted February 28, 2004 Author Share Posted February 28, 2004 They are hundreds all over my glass. I have had them there since the first 2 days i put my rocks in the tank. They havent gotten any bigger though.........That is a really close up pic and its under weird lighting but thats how they are all shaped. ANY OTHER OPINIONS????? Link to comment

Angel Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 You were looking for something to "search for to find out" and I give you the common name. Okay, look up Planaria. They come in on rock, sand and/or coral. Link to comment
Yves Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 Flatworm exit or chelidomura nudibranchs should take care of them-Yves Link to comment
MarLooney Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 i've use FWE with success. don't expect to kill them all the first dose and follow all precautions. don't use it if any of your corals don't look healthy. Link to comment
AReeferIsExpensive Posted February 28, 2004 Author Share Posted February 28, 2004 I guess ill suck up as many as possible while im waiting for the flatworm exit. Good to know someone has had success with it b/c i know that after i bought "stop aptasia" i was really ####ed off to find out bioling water was more effective! Thanks for the help everyone Link to comment
MarLooney Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 joe's juice is good for killing aiptasia... just FYI Link to comment
