A flatworm maybe?

Anyone have an idea what this might be? It showed up on some rock I picked up. It's in a QT tank. If I can get a better picture I'll post one.

Flatworm or Nudibranch; can't tell from that photo.

where did you get the rock?

Weyrman · 08/03/2012, 02:14 PM

Kataro's tank. The sea apple was attached to it. It detatched on the way home. I put it in the QT first as a safety measure.

Some more pictures. These are about 1/16th of an inch across. Sorry, this is about the best my camera can do in macro mode for something this small.

Red Planaria

Thanks for the ID Kataro. That's it all right. Attached is a picture from Google images that matches.

Planaria for sure

I just read that if you black out your tank for 48 hours every single red planaria will die off. You will need to do a water change afterwards and run some carbon. I guess they quickly starve to death.
