I know, I know...flatworms!!!

But they don't hurt anything in my tank and are actually keeping it cleaner than before. In the same tank as the fw's, my snails just reproduced and I also have little baby snails running around all over too. I don't care about asthetics as long as my corals continue to thrive.
 
Give credit where credit is due...the purple digi is from Freed. Also got a beautiful pulsing sinularia and some red and green tip frogspawns, all came out amazing. The sin is right behind coralline growth and can't get a good pic until I scrape the glass. It is now extended and pulsing. Wonderful stuff. He fulfilled one of my dream corals with that.
 
Some more pics andone cute one of my four(now three, RIP Cracker) ferrets sleeping together. Jon, the pics are huge...about 1MB each. Is there an easier way to do it? I could give you access to my photobucket account and you could download them from there(cuts them to 512Kb each)

For Freed's piece of mind:

I know you said that you didn't mind the flatworms, but if you are interested, SITC can get you a yellow coris wrasse. Mine spends all day looking over the rock for stuff to eat incl. those red flatworms.

The photos are great! Very nice!
 
Nice pictures. Anyone reading this, if you had or ever had flatworms, I hope you let people know before they buy or get anything from you. I've never had it and I hope I never do.

I know you wouldn't do that Craig, but I've heard of a few people having those in their tanks and not letting people know.
 
I was at Ocean Blue one day and one of there LPS tanks (?), the back left one, was overrun with them. It was the classic flatworm infection, looked like a slime of algae it was so thick. I bought an urchin that was being housed in a different system (the back left wall system - fish area) since I didn't see any flatworms there. But then two weeks later I started seeing my first flatworms. So it seems likely that's where mine came from.

Craig - do you also adjust the camera's white balance or do you leave it on it's auto settings for that?
 
Look for the small yellowish brown rectangles scattered around. These were in my tank a while back...

I have since siphoned and added some fish that eat flatworms and now I don't see them except occasionally. I haven't done flat worm exit, maybe I'll do that stuff some day...
 
Oh, thanks for pointing them out.

I searched for flatworms today because I think I found 2 in my tank. But, I can't find any picture that matches the ones I've found.

I went to get my camera and by the time I returned to the tank, they were gone.
 
No white balance. No flash. No zooming. Once you set the supermacro, my camera cannot zoom, flash or balance. I use shutter speed of around 1/5-1/20 to get good lighting(too high shutter speed makes dark pictures) without fuzzy draw (too slow of shutter speed captures over long time range and unless camera is tripoded, you can't take clear pics).
 
About fw's, they are not bad and do not harm anything. People have a common misconception that these will be the end of your tank...they will not. In fact, my tank that is infested is the best growing tank, the healthiest corals, the least algae tank that I own. That is where all my unique, rare, and favorite corals are and not one has suffered any type of ill effect from the fw's. The only problem I see is that they are not the prettiest and they block the view of my tank. Also, if too many, some people say they can stay on a coral and suffocate it, however this has never happened to me and I have more fw's than I have ever seen in any other tank. "Plague proportions" is nothing in comparison to how many I have had in there before, and no plague occured. Just scoop a few hundred out every week or so and the population diminishes to a manageable amount. I'm sorry everyone hates them, but they are the best thing that has ever happened to that tank. In fact, I think they have saved more corals lives than they could ever hurt. Also, snails have now started to reproduce in that tank also, which means everything is going fine.
