FragIt Dan is on a distinguished road

I have a friend with it in her 14G bio cube. It has not taken over but she grooms it periodically. Personally, I would rather not have it in there were it my tank. You can find some info here: http://biogeodb.stri.si.edu/bocas_da...h/species/6642
This source indicates it is fairly cosmopolitan and so I would expect it to be prolific and hard to get rid of. As for IDing it conclusively, best of luck . Here is a resource with some key features but it can be difficult at the best of times...

Probably much safer just to get rid of it, but you already knew that ,

Had run across this but interested in opinions from this forum.
