I just noticed these guys in my fuge and wondering if they are good or bad. There is no color except the flesh color as shown. I don't know if they are in the tank because the lights are off. Here are the best pics i can get as of now. My sister is borrowing my DSLR so if better pics are needed i can get them tomorrow.

I have some of these in my fuge its a flatworm not good but not really bad from what i was told. Its the red ones you that will take over your tank if not careful. I keep an eye on them only see about 6-8 in my fuge and only 2-3 in the tank. If they get to many just suck them out. I also read somewhere if you squirt them with freshwater it will kill them. Hope this helps.

Those look like the pod eating ones. All they do is eat a few pods off the glass.

I had some of those... flatworm exit worked great :)

Only side effect was 3 of my snails closed up for 2 or 3 days... then they were fine. Kinda weird? over all, nothing died except the worms and all is well.
