clear things on glass

[reeferwanabe]

I dont know what else to call them almost like jellyfish. too small for pic w/o macro lens which I dont have yet. they crawl on glass slowly. not pods.their round with two pointy legs but all one piece. any clues?

Sounds like a flatworm ??? does it look like the one on this pic http://www.melevsreef.com/id/clear_flatworm.html

that's it! thanks. never saw them before and just in my fuge.so according to that site I guess theres no problem

Dave.They are not a problem in small quantities. When(if) they get out of control and over populate your tank, they will become a problem. Treat for them now.

I've read of tanks getting invested by them. I'm not to sure how they reproduce but some people say that a skimmer will take care of them on the early stages, and the safest way to get rid of them will be to get a natural predator like: six line wrasse, mandarin or a leopard wrasse.

Or you can use flatworm exit.

I only see them in the sump. should I shut down the flow to it and treat with flatworm exit or leave the flow and treat?
