I transported my friends Frogspawn to my tank to nurse it back to health as it started closing up recently. After I acclimated it and placed it in my tank I noticed these flat worm like creatures on the branches and think they might be the cause of the Frogspawning closing up. I don't know what the heck these are, if they are good or bad, or safe for the tank. I took them off the coral last night very easily last night and they are in a container pending ID'ing them. Any help of information would be greatly Helpful. Thanks in advance!

flatworm. some of the big ones are predatory so it's probably good you got rid of it.

Michael, place this thread on the invert thread. LESLIE.H is the best person to ID this guy.

I had 1 big 1 like that when I first started the tank. He wiped out most of my big snails. I caught him at night while viewing with a red light. was about 2" or so.
