Strange worm all over my tank!

[machinas]

At first I thought this was some type of algae, I sucked some of them up and on closer inspection they are some type of worm. Red/brown in color and very small about |-| in length. I took some pics but they look terrible.

Hard to tell from pic, but try to search flatworms

you are screwed,those look like flatworms,if your tank can support it get a 6 line wrasse and a mandarin goby. Better get a positive ID first,if they are swimming around all fast they may be bristleworm epitokes

 

[matter1331]

pretty quick verdict seeing as there isn't a positive ID on them. Not all flatworms equal you being screwed. There are predatory flatworms that eat corals, but not all do. I'd try to get a better picture if you can, with the one you've got it's going to be impossible.
