Any idea what these are growing in my refugium? They don't seem to look like large copepods? I seeded my refugium 2 weeks ago and have a crap ton of pods all over my DT.

I also have white dots over parts of my DT which I think are CUC eggs?

Flat worms

I bought a six line wrasse against all advise and a Target mandarin, all flat worms gone in two weeks.

My Six line is a model citizen. Mandarin was hard to keep fed would only eat live food, cost me plenty in pods untill he jumped ?

I agree they're flat worms. If the problem isn't crazy yet you should look into natural ways of knocking them back. Like buying certain fish that will eat them.
