What the?

[M3rmaids]

My seahorse unfortunately passed away, since then it’s just been my Algae eater Asteria Snails. I recently added a Melanie’s Wrasse to fix my red flat worm problem. Only had him a few days hoping he works a little harder since he litterally always hides in the sand. But as I was examining the tank. I realized there is a new critter.

What is this? Looks like a underwater bed bug, and they move fast!
Also noticed some white circle funk that is difficult for my mag float to get off.

See attached.
Help! Will my wrasse way these? I have a few bristles in there as well. But first time seeing these guys. Tank is about 8 months old.

Dang! I used to stock my tank with copepods! For my horse and I always was like ... there’s never enough because they were so small. These guys are HUGE in comparison

Also, my snail seems to be growing his own colony. Is this normal? Bad? Or okay? We think he looks so cool, but none of my other guys have it. So I just didn’t know lol

Yeah my tank was taken over by red flat worms. That’s why I got the wrasse. But I hope he’s going to start doing more soon
