Ive noticed these recently. What are they? Im guessing flatworms?
They are smaller than a grain of rice.

Flatworm, probably harmless.

those are harmless Acoel flatworms. they may eat a few copepods, but they will go away on their own.

Exactly. I noticed them a few weeks after I bought an Acan frag from the LFS.
As long as they are harmless, I wont worry. If they do get on my nerves... do you think that Salifert's Flatworm Exit would get rid of them?
Thanks
