    Flatworm ID?

    I found this little creature crawling on my glass at night, and I believe they’re flatworms. Can anyone help ID this? Or at least tell if they’re harmful or not? It looks transparent/white with black dots on them. Doesn’t look like brown flatworm unless it’s a baby.

    Is my Clownfish ok?

    We just started a saltwater tank a couple weeks ago but one of our clown fish is not eating, breathing fast, and is more dull in color than the other. The ammonia is 0, nitrite is 0 and nitrate is 10ppm with a ph of 8. This is a 36gal tank and they are the only fish. Appreciate the help.

    What should I do with this algae?

    I’ve been cycling my 150g for about 3.5 weeks and I noticed to day that red algae is starting to grow. Should I add any sort of life to eat it before it starts to grow too much? Or should I do a water change? I’ve never dosed anything in this tank yet by the way.

    A very stupid and embarrassing question… is my cat causing ammonia in my tank?

    Long story short, got a new tank, purple life rock, and aragonite substrate. I tested my ammonia to get a base reading and I was showing 1.0 ppm on the api test and .8 on the Red Sea ammonia test.
