Flatworm??

[Lazydaze73]

Hey all. So I saw this guy crawling around my fuge for the first time. Pretty sure it’s some type of flatworm? Kinda grey/ bluish I would say. Just curious if they’re the bad ones or not. Thanks in advance

Appears to be planaria flatworm, genus Rhabdocoela. Siphon them up if you can. They can multiply quickly. Melanurus and 6 line wrasse will eat them also

Yeah looks like a type of flatworm. Take it out immediately to avoid any issues before they multiply. I have a six line and so far I have never seen a flatworm in my tank. Dip your corals always and inspect them carefully.

Thanks guys. All corals were quarantined for 45 days and dipped with coral rx twice. Never saw any type of flatworms. Only thing that I haven’t QT’d was the chaeto and pods I got from algae barn a few months ago.

That’s what I see in the last pic also. I think it’s a stomatella.

I think your right. After looking at stomatella pics I think it looks more like them. Thanks guys
