Anyone know what these little things are?

I just noticed these little things on my glass display when I was feeding (ie return and display pumps are off). They seems to be sliding on the glass. What are they? Next question are they good or bad?

Trying to upload a video but I'm having problems with it uploading.

You could try uploading a video to youtube, then uploading the link in a comment here. Just judging by that one pic, it looks like a flatworm. More pics or a video would definitely help with a more positive id.

Great though. Here is the link to the video.

A flatworm of some sort possible ghost fw. If they are ghosts they are harmless.

If ghost they are neutral. But I can't be sure.

With the forked tail, the color, and the shape, that looks like the flatworms that eat copepods. They're pretty harmless in small amounts. Your options are: 1. Get a wrasse to eat them. 2. Manually suck them out with airline tubing or a turkey baster. 3. Use Flatworm Exit and go the chemical route. 4. Leave them alone and see if they die off eventually.

Great info, thank you. Semi interesting, I don't believe I have any copepod. I appreciate the options on how to remove them.

Doesn't it move to fast to be a flatworm?
