Never mind Rachel its the same thing im talking about Planaria = Flatworms lol silly of me...

 

[msjinkzd]

they are really common in invert tanks as there is no predation and the food tends to sit much longer than in tanks with fish. I gravel vac using airline tubing or by sticking an AquaClear sponge in my siphon and it helps greatly to keep the numbers down.
