Hey everyone
I've had a duncan colony from a friend that tore down a tank for at least 6 months, and I always noticed it had weird pink splotches on it. It wasn't until I saw one yesterday on the glass that I noticed they were flatworms. They look pinkish in color.

They seem to be staying put for the most part on the duncan, and it shows no signs of stress. Anyone able to ID the type?

Yeah I can't tell which type it is off this guide. Hoping it's a ghost but it has more color than the pics.

Don't want to rock the boat with my current stock. Already have a tricolor wrasse and an aggressive dottyback. I'm guessing since I've had them for months with no adverse side effects that they aren't harmful, but just trying to verify
