    Saw this little guy in my tank today and I'm thinking it's a flatworm. Sorry about the dirty glass, was in the process of cleaning it off when I found him. I took it out but I'm pretty sure where there's one there are more.

    Look at the very end of the page for the flatworms. Hopefully it is one of the good guys.

    From the looks on that page it seems to be a bad one. Thoughts anyone else?

    It is a flatworm and rule of thumb is when you see one there are many many more unseen. I see 2 different types of flatworms in the pic. Do you have alot of corals? A Melanurus Wrasse will eat them and Flatworm Exit from seiferts is a good way to get them out. Also a Copperband butterfly will eat them but wouldnt get one just for that reason. If they get out of hand and ya cant get the right fish or medicine for it let me know. Good Luck

    I have those in my tank. Don't bother anything but copepods, they eat them up. I do siphon them out as I see them though, I just dont like seeing them.
