Flatworm ID

[ryanrick]

I am slowly ramping up my reef tank, but these flatworms have built up a solid population. I am assuming these are the harmless brown flatworms. The only coral in the tank for the last 5 months is a ricordea shroom. Any idea what type of flatworm this is? FYI, I have a melanarus wrasse in QT - I'll introduce these to the QT tank for the wrasse to learn.

Looks like red plenaria. That will be a good food for the wrasse

Those are the acro eating type, right?

Not that one's
The problem could be if the red plenarias overpopulating your tank and after dead could release toxins.

Myself would get rid of those puppys

The wrasse will do that, no problem

Yea I'd like to avoid adding chemicals where a natural solution will work. Thanks for the ID!
