Corals came in a few days ago. Did a Revive dip. Just noticed these today. White things on the glass.

Do they move about with erratic jumps? If so, they’re probably harmless copepods, which are common hitchhikers and serve as live food for larger organisms.

I think you'll find they're flatworms. We had a similar outbreak recently after adding some corals. Within a week we had thousands of them.

Some people have success with flatworm exit which didn't do anything at all for us, even at the higher dose recommended.
