By best guess is a baby flat worm based on images that I’ve seen from other people. Maybe a pod? if not, it’s my best excuse to pull the trigger and get a melanurus.

is it moving? swimming erratically or crawling? i take crawlies out of the tank.
seems to be slowly crawling. I have quite a few but they seem to move slowly because they’ve each moved about an inch since yesterday..

My corals look fine for now... I’ve been wanting a melanurus for quite some time now so I’ll probably get one tomorrow.

QT is always the way, those guys always have flukes and internal parasites. he’s going to be cleaned up before he goes in :cool:
