fat Ghost Flatworm, no live rock?

[SlugSnorter]

Cannot get a good pic, but have some ghost flatworms that are a bit flatter than the picture in hitchhiker form. seem to eat pods a bit, but I do not have any liverock so not sure where they came from. will they harm a pod pop in a 15 gal?

 

[shakacuz]

they will definitely eat the pods. i have some in my sump and they basically eradicated my pods

****... I was hoping they wouldn't get them all. Will they at least be food for things that eat pods?

why? pods are useful but don't make or break. If all pods die out the flats will too, then I can add more

would a Pink-Streaked Wrasse? im not familiar with their care, but small otherwise harmless flatworms that stay stable even after pods are gone means fish food to my eyes
