ID request for critter found on glass
 
The big guy in the middle....

Seen a half dozen of these little creatures on the glass. I've never really seen it move around or at lest perceived it moving. As pictured it is 3mm in length. Something good or something to try and nuke?

A flatworm if some sort not sure which breed as I have no Experiance or luck knowing which is which but I do know nuke it and where there is one there may be more

Options:
Scooter blenny make sure it eats frozen as well
Flatworm eating wrasse.
Flatworm exit... Make sure you follow Instructions and don't leave tank unattended while dosing the toxin released could nuke tank from the death scoop out as many as you can and have water changes readily a available.

Is it a chiton ? If it is I think they are good .......the defining feature on them is they have segmented armour on there back

Looks like a flat worm. They can multiply like mad.

I'm on the flat worm side as well. I would suggest a wrasse from the The family (yellow coris, and melanurus ect.)

The fish solution is out as it's only a little 6 gal tank. I guess flatworm exit might be in order. Will have to read up on this product and where to get it! heh

Can it be purchased locally in Calgary?

When stores are open I'll phone the circuit. Ocean City, Wai's, Pisces, BigAls.

could be nerite snail eggs too maybe....
check google and look at the images.

ckmullin 04-08-2013 04:23 PM

Don't have any nerite snails...so I'm leaning strong to a flatworm.

Flat worm exit works well but may bomb your tank if you over dose or fail to follow instructions.

It states manually remove what you can, then dose. Remove dead FW immediately. Then water change.

If you only have a couple don't stress too much. If they begin multiplying... Dose FW Exit.
