Copepods or snails?

[ahuynh616]

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 ?

@Coinzmans Reef nailed it.

Oof. I assume those are bad and I should work on getting rid of them.

Could they be ghost flatworms?
If so.according to this article say are harmless but do eat copepods

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.

No matter good, Bad or indifferent who wants a tank full of them? Rid yourself of them now naturally throw a six line in the sump and a Target Mandarin in the DT The clock is ticking !

Yeah, doesn't look too out of control and I only see them in my fuge. Will be manually removing them and looking to snag sometime to take care of them. Thanks!

Yup, definitely ghost flatworms. Guess they are not going through my copepod population in my fuge...
