What is this

[pettoe90]

Anyone know what this looks like?

 

[reeferfoxx]

Does it move?

Does it move?

Very slowly

I hope and want to say it looks like a small chiton. If it's a chiton, it's beneficial. Otherwise it could be a type of flat worm. Best way to tell is look on the other side and see if it has a shell. If it has a shell or ridge type pattern, it's a chiton. If not, it's a type of flatworm and needs to be ID'd

Maybe it's me on my little Fire, but to me it looks like an overexposed picture of out of focus rock. What am I missing?

I'll try to see if it does

LOL! Look in the center and zoom back with your eyes. Close up on the glass.

Does not look like it has a shell but very hard to tell

@pettoe90 Do you have any coral?

 

[pettoe90]

Some gsp and very small frag of zoa has 3 heads on it

I have a bad feeling that might be a AEFW or Acro eating flatworm. Good news is you don't have any acro. I don't have much experience with them but I know they are BAD.

Sorry couldn't get it to focus on it well unless I take the picture further back

I'll remove it, if there is more they will prolly die off if acro is all they eat, just not sure how I would get it I dipped both the corals

Thanks @reeferfoxx , I now know what I'm looking at. It's hard to tell from bottom shots only. Maybe @Lionfish Lair can help here.

I removed it, but it did feel like it had a shell and actually curled up when I took it out. I would rather be safe then sorry

Double check your zoas and GSP. See if anything looks like a small transparent or yellowish bump. Sometimes you can get a smaller/different type of flatworm on softies and LPS coral. I once had something similar hitchhike on a small frogspawn colony. Looks like dark spots on my frogspawn tentacles. Luckily I was able to do an extended coral dip that eradicated all of them without any spreading.

I will double check them, I did dip the coral using coral rx for 6 minutes, is it possible some things can still survive the dip

Yes. And CoralRX recommends 5-10 minutes. Sometimes you should go the full 10 minutes. Otherwise you can look up the coral dip debate threads and see if another product would be more effective. I use Revive and did a 15 minute dip on my frogspawn. Not to say Revive is better but they are different types of dip.
