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 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
I mean back in my day I used to cruise around with 4 15's and 5000 watts rms of fury so I'm no stranger to that garbage lol
