My bet is on flat worms.

jmore510 01/20/2010 12:56 AM

thats what they look like are they harmful?

They are annoying pest that will take over your tank. Covering everything in its path. Get rid of them fast.

If it's true, they're flat worms. You better get rid of them fast before it's too late.
I've seen tank covered with flat worms and the owner could not do anything about them.

collect ( suck up ) what you can and Flatworm exit what you cant get. Water change after.

six line wrasse and/or mandarin goby is the answer to your problems. they will eat you out of brown flat worms in no time.

One thing to remember is if you use Flat Worm Exit is to get them out as they will release toxins and might complicate things.

Never done it myself, but I've heard this is A way to go. And it'd be nice to have lots of food for the goby!!

thanks for all the help but i freshwater dipped it yesterday it killed all the tube worms (so i think) and the coral is out today :D

I don't know about Mandarin Goby but my six line did not touch them.
