Yeah I had 2 of these pop up in my tank,after one ate some mysis it became 2 smaller versions .I thought it may be some type of worm but now not so sure.As always totally grateful for yalls help.

PS. Yes I know I have cyno in my tank,is what happens when ya don't change your r/o cartridges like ya suppose to.

I am not a salty, but that looks like a flatworm to me.
From what I understand they are bad news...
But dont take my word for it, wait till some of the salties give their opinions..

I converted your pix to jpg format so they show in the thread.. BMP files have to be downloaded individually.

(hope ya dont mind!)

Definately polyclad flatworm. Eats snails and clams. You need to get it out.

Just happened to run across this.. apparently there are lots different kinds of these guys.. and not all are bad.. how could we know the good from the bad?

Just in case get rid of it.. just to be on the safe side. I found a huge one of those that came out of a baseball sized rock.. probably 9+inches.. gave him a RO bath.. hope that got him...
