flat worms

[kevin kaplan]

I think I have flatworms, but I have no way of posting pics. Can someone please post a pic of flatworms if you have any so I can compare. They are spread out along my front glass. Their tail is a U shape and they are multiplying fast. I have a harlequin tust, a clown, and a puffer in my 200 gal fowlr tank. Thanks for your help!

Yep, sounds like flatworms to me. Google "Aceol flatworms" and you'll find photos. They come in all different colors, but look at the shape.

know of any good predators? The ones I have are much smaller than the pics I'm finding. They are pod sized, almost microscopic right now thanks!

The webpage suggested talks about a "tailed nudibranch". Where can you find those, and are they safe for a reef tank.
Someone once told me thay had heard that mandarin fish also eat them. Any ideas?
