Saw something alittle weird

[Cesar333]

i got up one morning and turned on the lights to find something alittle strange swimming around. it was small maybe an 1/8 in diameter, kinda transparent with a yellow ball in its center with a little tail that forked at the end. It kinda looked like a clear sunny side up egg with a forked tail and it was thrashing around. Very weird. it swam behind my rocks before i could get a camara and i never saw it again.. can anyone explain?

I can't see what pict you posted but it sounds like a flatworm to me.
I have a few white ones in my sump and they sound just like your description. There are many different kinds of flatworms and the white ones I have are larger than the orange ones that can become a plague. You usually don't have to worry about the white ones cuz they don't become a plague.
I searched google but can't find a pict of them. Mine are about 1/4 inch long.

dang that was the one i was lookin for...but those are harmless?

 

[Paintbug]

yep. they are thought to eat copepods, but other than that they dont hurt a thing. and they will usually die off on their own.
