I was looking in my tank, and on a couple of frag Plugs, I saw what looks like small orange worms. They move by kind of slithering, or moving side to side. I've googled red bugs, and they dont really look like that. They don't really look like anything I've seen.
And they are too small to grab an iPhone pic.
What the hell are these things?

Yes. That's sort of what I thought they might be. I'll get flatworm exit and nuke em.

Before you start adding chemicals to your tank you might want to try and manually remove what you can first. This can definitely be a little tedious, but if you were to dedicate maybe 5 minutes each day for a week you'll probably make a significant dent in the population. FWIW this is how I got rid of mine.
