***UPDATED WITH HIGH RES PHOTO***

I know this is a long shot, but I am trying ID this flatworm. They recently appeared (to me at least) a few days ago, after not having added anything new to my tank for quiet a while. They are tiny, and not easily noticed without a magnifying glass.

Not terribly concerned if that is all they do. Have a wrasse and a mandarin but still maintain a cornucopia of pods. Is there any other worries with them?

Its a flatworm and needs to eradicated. Melanurus wrasse will eat these. Flatworm exit also helpful but dose at 80% of recommendation.

These guys have gained a red tint and have multiplied exponentially. Time to go flatworm hunting.

I have been losing acros over the past 6 weeks or so and now I am worried that these might be AEFW, however I don’t see any of the signs on my acros.
