First is bad flatworms , second could be spiny snail eggs . stomellas spawn in the water and the other snails you have lay ribbon like eggs that are very small and white.

Thanks for the flat worm ID. I've turned up the flow and blacked out the tank. In a few days I'll try and finish them with Flatwork Exit.

First pic-a couple of those evil $astards actually resemble little devils or playboy bunnies :mrgreen: -how ironic!

I tried Salifert Flatworm eXit in a separate container on a dozen worms. 24 hours later at 50x concentration and fewer than half died.

With more reading I found there are many species of flatworms. This one is probably Heterochaerus Australis or similar. Going to try manual removal. I wrote up what I found here:
