there are about 100 or so really tiny arrow shapped things with a little white tipped head. Almost looks like a swallow tail but elongated.

Gliding on glass.

This is exactly what they look like...i was hoping to be getting a Pink Streaked Wrasse once my LFS gets one but that could be a while...anyone have good peacefull alrernatives. I currently have 1x fire fish.
Will be getting a clown pair being introduced last or very small.
A cardinal.
And after my 29g sump/fuge is finished and probably down the line i want a red scooter blenny.

Seems as though i have flat worms. Even though i dipped my corals for 15 min.

While the dips do kill the adult flat worms they don't kill the eggs that have been laid. When you get a new coral and do your dip make sure you look it over very closely and get rid of any eggs that you find.

What he said.

I have a pair of Blue Star Leopard Wrasses that have completely eliminated flatworms from my 120DT. It took them less than a week. That was after I had struggled with manual removal and two doses of FWE at 1.5 strength that the FW's just laughed at.
 
Yeah i thought i did. Might need to get a magnifying glass. What do flatworm eggs look like? I only have a 36g display so bigger wrasses are out of the question. I will be doing treatment. Maybe ill post in the fish forum and see who has had good success with what. I dont want a six or 4 line due to their aggression but if i have to i guess i will. Just means probably wont be able to get my cardinal and would have to get my clown pair first.
