Oh, and if they are bad...Who eats them?

i believe those are flatworms, and while not detrimental in small numbers, they can explode in population and take over a tank, from what i hear/remember.

Thanks...
I will look into flatworm exit.

Could always get a 6 line wrasse too. They are very good at ridding your tank of flatworms and other baddies. IME, flatworms shouldn't bother your zoas to much, but like mentioned above, the population can explode.

I got a frag that had flatworms, and got a sixline soon thereafter. Since I got the sixline, I have never seen a single flatworm. Nor a bristleworm for that matter.
