AEFW or nah?

[Vmacisback]

I was moving some chalices over to my frag tank when I noticed these guys. The chalices had been on the sand bed for a few weeks and obviously picked them up from there. Ive had aefw before but these dont really look the same...i am thinking they are a planaria or some other type of flatworm. I moved over all my acros to a new tank so there isnt much left acro wise in the tank and I 100% know I didnt have aefw on this tank in the last year while it was running. Also I dipped all my acros after removing them from this tank. So I thought id share a couple pics of these guys to get an I.D. Thanks

I'm not 100% positive they are AEFW, but they sure do look similar.

yea they do I agree but after dipping all my acros and not seeing any makes me wonder if they are AEFW of just another type of flatworm hanging in the sand bed where my chalices were.

I don't think they are. AEFW don't have the forked tail. I'm almost 100% sure the second pic is just red planaria. Especially if you just found them under a chalice.

yea i took all my chalices out and put them in a ziplock container to transfer them to a new tank. I saw a couple of these guys and freaked out because ive had AEFW before. At first glance they look similar but the forked tail threw me off as well as I know my tank was pest free for the last year, i almost check it nightly with a flashlight for bites etc. Anyway i don't think they are but decided id get some other opinions.

Off topic but where did this "or nah" come from? Kids say this all the time I assume it's from something

I think it started with the song "Or Nah" by a guy who calls himself "Ty Dolla $ign" lol. Not for the faint of heart if you plan on listening to it. :p

lol back on topic i just pulled some acros out of the display and did some random test dips with Bayer and a little revive, nothing showed up. No bites or anything.
