    Well I got a nice order of snails and crabs in today. Along with my cuc I notice there are now tons of pods in my 10g. There is also a few tiny tiny tiny...little slugs like things on the glass. How can I tell if they are snail larvae or flatworms? If they are flatworms is that bad and what do I do about it?

    Thanks to all in advance.

    pictures would make this easier to figure out. What color are they do they move?

    I got two Nerite snails and the buggers have gone to town and are now leaving small teardrop shaped white dots on the glass of my tank which i have to forcefully scrape off because it looks like my tank is growing pimples. since the freshwater nerite snails have done the same thing i can say they are snail eggs, i doubt they'll hatch but it's annoying.

    They were WAAAYY too small to get pics, but hey have now vanished. I am leaning toward them being some sort of larvae. They were a grey white color with a small "darker" grey white dot on the back and they head area looked a little like a nerite head (a spade like shape). I know nerite eggs and cerith eggs as I have them in both my 40 breeder and 10g nano. Either way I'm sure they are harmless if they even survived the first couple days.
