ok, so i purchased a large crispa anemone a few days ago and was admiring my tank...as usual..... but then i realized there was a black, or dark brown blob, slug thing within, yes inside the anenomes tentacles.....it had just pooped so i thought ,ok, maybe its just poop in there....well that didn't make any sense so i looked closer....the 5 mill and smaller thing moved more in a slug way.... then i counted a further few... pics up soon.... please help is it harmful, bad, ok ??? thanks :/
OK, ID experts I need you...

They seem to be a type of flat worm I've seen them before on a few of my nems you could do a dip if you can take the nem out of your tank or get a six line wrasse and hope it sees them and eats them. I've never lost a nem due to them. So you should be fine, could even pic them off with tweezers If you have the patience 
yes, what type o dip, brand? and they seem t be inside the anemone.... i dont know....any idea of what type of flat worm? thanks alot!They seem to be a type of flat worm I've seen them before on a few of my nems you could do a dip if you can take the nem out of your tank or get a six line wrasse and hope it sees them and eats them.

Oh you didn't mention that if they are inside the anemone they could be eggs malus reproduce sexually and in females you can sometimes see the eggs inside the tentacles. I don't think there are any types of flat worms that live inside of anemones I've only seen them on the outside
is a Heteractis crispa a type that would reproduce that way? and do the eggs move slightly, and are dark in colour? thanks
well all my fish are in my 5 foot because i am currently in transition but i only ave two leathers and the nem....and a few crabs so its pretty much a QT
