			 They look like for lack of better words, huge amoebas.  They have a reddish looking head, and rush out of the substrate at night, but you can still see them hanging around in the daytime.   
		
	
		
		
		
		
		
		
			I don't see any detrimental effects yet on any corals or fish, but it looks like its starting to be quite a few. Any thoughts? Thanks! Last edited by Kit with Cat; 05-06-2012 at 02:14 AM.  |

	I have just purchased a psychedelic mandarin...would that eat them? (I know its sorta like dependent on individual mandarin but I've only read that green mandarins will eat red planaria...is that true? Do I need to get a sixline wrasse?) My reef tank setup: running 8 months 90 Gallon 1 regal blue tang 2 false perculas 1 bicolor dottyback 1 psychedelic mandarin 1 blue spotted jawfish 1 diamond goby 2 cleaner shrimps hermit crabs and snails, 1 x pompom crab, 1 x emerald crab 1 x tuxedo urchin It just occured to me I have a refugium and that maybe where the red planaria are coming from? Should I get rid of it? Thanks everyone!  |

			 No dont get rid of your refugium. As cool as 6 line wrasses are most of them turn in to huge wrasseholes as they get older. Bluetang gave you some good suggestions.

			 HAHA "wrasseholes" 
		
	
		
		
		
		
		
	
		
		
	
	
	Thanks for the advice all. That Melanurus Wrasse looks amazing...I'm asuming that's gonne become a wrassehole too? Too bad...so pretty! I'm worried the yellow coris wrasse will not get along with Mr. Bicolor Dottyback...he's a real jerk to all the newcomers into the tank(though he's left the Mandarin alone)  |

			 I know my 6 line wrasse can take car of himself against a much bigger tang.  Plus hes faster too if he needs to run
