Flatworm

[feeduall]

I assume this is bad. Found late at night when feeding the rainbow chalice. Didn’t see any eggs. Possibly a loner I hope.
It’s always something in this hobby had a bacterial infection in the water treated tank with cipro worked very well constantly eradicating evasive purple polyps and Aptasia finally conquered briopsis and hair algae
