Just picked up hermit crabs and turbo snails. In with the bag are little white things not quite sure what they are.

Get them out of the bag and into a cup or upside down lid and try to get a better pic to help us ID

Looks like flat worms

Amphiscolops flat worms .

Robg139 · Aug 30, 2019

Never encountered them, are they good/bad ? What should I do about it ?

LiveWire · Aug 30, 2019

+1 on the flatworms. I would set up a small tank and quarantine the inverts for awhile to be positive they dont have eggs on their shells.

Was it from a Lfs?

Robg139 · Aug 30, 2019

Yes it was.

motortrendz · Aug 30, 2019

Honestly I'd probably bring it back and show them. I wouldnt put them in my tank

I would definitely take them back, not worth getting flat worms over some crabs and snails. QT them may cost more than they do, but would be the best practice with new wet things that go into a DT.

Yes not gunna take the risk it. Should have looked in the bag at the store but figured since it’s only hermits and snails didn’t have to. Only to see these when I get home.
