I have a stirring pipe in my fuge. I went to stir my Chaeto and found these buggers climbing around the pipe. Do these look like Copepods or Isopods? If so, from what family?

Ugh... I thought the same when I first seen them. I hope not. I was looking at critter ID and I did see some Copepods and Isopods that were flat with tails like that so I was hoping it wasnt flat worms. See movie below. It was hard to focus but there are a couple shots of them.I see flatworms. Can you get a clearer picture

They do look like acoel flatworms. Being as they are on the pipe and it is nice and clean. Hopefully it is the algae eating variants. I have them in my sump, but not to many as there is a corris wrasse down there at the moment. So far they have not hurt anything and are not seen in the display, as it is full of wrasses and things that eat them.
Agreed
Agreed.To me they look like acoel flatworms.
