Weird ghost shaped things

[germs101]

I've never seen these before. They are rounded at the top and two points on the other end. Are these copepod? They don't look like the kind I've seen.

Hard to see but might be flatworm

Looks like a flat worm @Lionfish Lair can help with an ID

If they look like this they are flatworms (good kind).

I recently learned this myself. [emoji1]

Flatworm, those ones stay on the glass and don't harm anything, but they are annoying! (I have them in my tank) FYI, flatworm exit doesn't kill them. I've found the best them to keep them in check is a wrasse.

It's a fishless tank, so I don't have that option. Anything else eat them?

Ghost Flatworms (Amphiscolops).

Actually, those aren't the "innocent" ones. They're just regular ole flatties.

My wife has them in her tank, without the option of getting a fish to eat them they've started to become a plaque

The good thing is they aren't Convolutriloba and they aren't Waminoa. Not that a couple of those are an issue either, but most of us have benign little flatworms and don't even know it. I sucked some water from under my sandbed a few months back and you could see a couple. They still haven't shown themselves in the tank, besides under the microscope.

This is my opportunity to Nuke them before transferring them to my display. Will they become an issue or just more fish food [emoji6]

They're in QT?

They're in QT?

Yes. They're in my coral/ invert quarantine.

What kind of inverts? Who/what else is in there?
