    I'm thinking a type of worm or snail. Haven't seen one before so I am not sure. Hard to say if the flat worm is good or bad. Most would likely say siphon it out to be safe.

    Thanks! I lost sight of it when I looked down to read your reply. Hopefully I'll find it again and remove it.

    Might be a worm or snail, I believe it is safe.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    The clear or opaque fw have never proved to be trouble some for me, the Red Planaria are the worst IME.

    The thing on what looks like a piece of chaeto almost looks like a type of hydroid, not sure on that.
