This looks so awesome!!! But what is it?

So I have this little critter on my refugium wall and he just slides around like a slug. Almost flat and is just amazing! Never seen anything like it before. I actually have 3-4 of them I’ve seen tonight!

It’s a flatworm! not all are pests. Check your corals ASAP.

Soooo.... good biodiversity and feeds on pods? Or watch out? I see it is a ghost flatworm which is detailed as being good?

Looks to be a ghost flatworm.

good thing is I see none in my display tank and only have 4 frags in my tank and I see none on any of them.

I’d still watch them to see if they multiply and start to irritate your corals. Some wrasses would love to eat them. Yellow coris, leopards.....etc.

Only have a bonded pair of clowns, Fox face and a lawnmower blenny in the tank right now. Want a leopard wrasse eventually. But that’s a ways down the road. I’ll keep an eye on them

The scooter will take care of them.
