Unknown catch in my larvae catcher. Please help ID...

[miracles38]

Found this this morning. They are a orangish brown with no visible eyes or mouth. A tail that looks like a "T". Any ideas? This is in my 360g tank. No hermit crabs or shrimps. Fish pairs are black and white occelaris and Mandarin Goby.

Thanks

They look like Planaria but it's hard to see at that resolution. Do a search for "planaria flatworm pics" on google and tell us if that's what it is.

If you've got flatworms, you're going to need to get rid of them. They will reach plauge proportions are already probably going to work on some of your corals. Do some research on Flatworm Exit. Totally reef safe and easy to use. I used it myself a few weeks ago.

These swim around in a kind of twitching/jerking motion. They swim across the water column, they don't just crawl around. They don't have the shape of flatworms that I have seen and I haven't seen flatworms swim before.
