Found a red flatworm...
 

I found this guy in my reef tank. I'm suspecting he's been hiding out in my red mushrooms since he's exactly the same color.

I pulled him out and threw him in my quarantine tank...

Do you know if he's good or bad? If he's good I dont want him to starve in the QT tank, but if he's bad I couldnt care less :D

Excuse the terrible pics... I need a macro lens ;)

Just so ya know that is not the regular flat worm people have. Some sort of nudi
type thing I think. I may be wrong it's hard to tell in the pic.

As Dave says.:mrgreen: Could we have the size of that thing please:question:

about 1cm in length

Yeah its pretty small.... and I looked through google images for a while and the closest I could come to finding something that looked like it was some sort of a red flatworm....

There are no distinguishing features on it... its just flat and a little 'ripply' near the edges.

"This bright red flatworm was tiny (about 2cm). But it was moving about actively among the seaweed. These red flatworms appear to be seasonally abundant."

John has something similiar to that.. around the same size and black in his tank.. he kept calling it a Limpet but I couldn't find a picture of it under limpet..

A limpet has a shell... its like a mollusk.

I saw that pic of that guy... and its similar...

guess it cant be that bad. I must have been living in the tank for ages and I've seen no ill effects on anything.

But if I put it back in I wont get it out again... hehe

You could have a look at the Hitchiker FAQ. If you don't find it there maybe post it on Ron shimek's forum on RC.:mrgreen:
