Is this a flatworm? (pic)
 

Found this about an hour ago. About 2mm, maybe 3mm in length. I tried to remove it off the glass but of course dropped it and off it went into the tank.

Perfect closeup of my scratched up front glass. :( Man I can't wait to tear this tank down.

Its not any of the dreaded flatworms I recognise. Maybe a acro eating one.. never had one of them before tho.

I saw something that looks like that in my 20g a few weeks ago, it was about 3/4 of an inch long and not very wide. It didn't look like a flatworm to me and I haven't seen anything eaten so I just left it :biggrin:


*edit* I mean it was flat and worm like but it didn't look like any of the flatworms I usually see :lol:

It's not one of the nasty red ones I had - personally i'm leaning towards a young nudi of some sort...

Normally the nasty flatworms we have in our tanks are a much different shape (melev's got some good pics), with a square light/dark spot in the middle.

Yeah i agree with the young nudibranch comment. Flatworms usually aren't quite so "veiny" looking other than the "vein" along the midline.

Don't be such a butterfingers next time :razz:

Guess I shouldn't have been wearing the oven gloves while trying to remove something so itty bitty? Oh well .. not sure what I would have done with it anyhow...

Well it sorta looks like the kind I had once. Got any softies in there?

Clove polyps, gorgonians .. just put in a buncha zoos from various sources too in the last couple of weeks. :neutral:

They don't look "off" though. Only thing that's weird is the clam .. well .. Ok that and 100% mortality in the snails I just ordered (but the shipment took too long .. that'll learn me to MO livestock 2 days before Christmas .. :( )

What ever you do, do not let it jump toward your head and climb into your ear. I'm pretty sure I seen one of those on tv. The infected people's minds were taken over.

Glad to hear I'm not the only one enjoying the Trekmas Day marathon. :)
