Hello guys i found this morning a bunch of these guys. What are they? Do they harm? Reef safe?

Flatworm - Amphiscolops
I used to have a few of those but they all disappeared.

I have some as well in my fuge. From what I've read as long as they don't have red spots your ok.

 

[ColinAbi]

Says they eat Detritus, algae and copepods.

Funny thing is i deep all corals with coralrx. How come...

 

[Mrmole]

I meant dip

I have a blue star leopard wrasse that has cleaned my tank of all flatworms in short order.

[Mrmole]

Do you recommend any other wrasses? Leopards are rare here

 

[billdogg]

Yellow Coris wrasse will do the trick also. I had a Green Coris wrasse that was working on them but he got very large and ate my cleaner shrimp so he had to go.

That particular species of flatworm is harmless. As stated above they mainly eat copepods.

That would explain why my fuge is loaded with them and none in my DT.
