Default Found a red flatworm...

I found this guy in my reef tank. I'm suspecting he's been hiding out in my red mushrooms since he's exactly the same color.

I pulled him out and threw him in my quarantine tank...

Do you know if he's good or bad? If he's good I dont want him to starve in the QT tank, but if he's bad I couldnt care less

Excuse the terrible pics... I need a macro lens

Just so ya know that is not the regular flat worm people have. Some sort of nudi
type thing I think. I may be wrong it's hard to tell in the pic.

Yeah its pretty small.... and I looked through google images for a while and the closest I could come to finding something that looked like it was some sort of a red flatworm....

There are no distinguishing features on it... its just flat and a little 'ripply' near the edges.

"This bright red flatworm was tiny (about 2cm). But it was moving about actively among the seaweed. These red flatworms appear to be seasonally abundant."
