another pest in my reef?

[Detritivore]

as if my aiptasia infestation wasnt bad enough, i found some of these in my tank today:

dang it...must be the stupid nanoreef gallery....i'll try uploading them on here

[Detritivore]

ok, for some reason, it isnt uploading into the zeo gallery...

i'll try to describe it first, until i can get the pictures up...they are small, about 2mm and they are green. they look like the regular red ones, but they have a little tail-ish looking thing that is red. i found them on my front glass.

thanks

they are best described as Acoel FW

Looks like run of the mill non-acro eating flatworm. Flatworm exit is reasonably effective with them. Good luck.

i took a look again, and they seem to be everywhere now...they seem to like zoos/softies and lps...the SPS dont seem to be affected. what to do?

[gqjeff]

FW exit or try wrasses and mandarines... If its not one thing in this hobby its another I tell you...

well, since i didnt have any fish in my tank, i added a six line a few days ago...eventhough i didnt see him eat the FW, im happy to say that i cant see any of them anymore. the sixline is a very cool fish BTW, reminds me of my old chameleon.

...now if i could only get rid of those aiptasia...

Pick up a couple peppermint shrimp, just make sure they are the true peps and not camelbacks sold as peppermints. I added 2 and haven't seen an aiptasia since.
