So I was looking at my HOB sump tonight, and noticed something other than the usual pods on the glass..I have a post on my local forum, and they seem to think they are flatworms (and I agree) but it never hurts to get a few more sets of eyes on the picture to help me out..are these bad?
I plan on getting flatworm exit as soon as I can get to my LFS (it's about an hour away)

Awesome, thanks for the quick reply..sorry glad to hear they're not harmful to corals..
