Wondering if these are the things I keep seeing reference to Pac Man Ghost! They are really cool to watch. We have a 200gal set up with a 30gal sump and a 40gal fuge under the 200gal. Below in the bsmt is a 40gal tank to mix new clean salt water for big water changes and a 10gal pure RO water to feed to water change tank. Anyway I have seen pods and so many other things but this throws me for a loop. There are at least 10 in the fuge. Sorry the photos are a bit grainy. I was using my iphone not in HD. If you look behind the Frog Fish you will see one there too!

BTW....Speaking of Frog Fish, he was in our 40gal fuge loving life. We had a pretty good outbreak of red slime algae and researched to see if any of our inhabitants would fall to the treatment. We found no contra-indications. Since his tank was tied into the main tank we treated his in conjunction to the main tank. Later, which this pic is post treatment, he began to lose his top fins. You can see in this pic a part of his top fin missing. He died about three days after the treatment and one day after a slow 80gal water change. Any ideas???

Yep. They are a cool type of flat worm. I had some in a tank a few years ago. They ate the red/brown type of flat worms I had. It was really cool to watch. Sorry to hear about your fish.
 
Pacman ghosts have 3-4 legs depending on current state of movement, they are typically found in the Ninten reef and seldom hitchhike into our tanks via the area they origin from.
