ID please

[nlutfi]

I've recently notice these all over my glass, my tank has been fallow for about a month due to Brook/velvet. Fish are in Qt but I've noticed a pod explosion in my DT now that there are no fish in there, but unsure of these new critters on the glass.

It scrapes.off sort of like chalk..its hard in the surface and scratches off fairly easily..it is very deep red in color and patches of it about the tank on my rockwork..my tank is about 5 months old 29 biocube I have upgraded everything perams are all really good, I do have about 5 vermitted on my rock I am covering with putty while you read this but the pic I sent as I scraped away the red no webs came out nor did it ever grow any spires at all..the red area has just gotten a tiny bit bigger.

Hard to tell with the blue light but it looks like a ghost flatworm. If it is they are harmless

They seem to be transparent and don't have any color so maybe that's what they are?

Could be new coralline algae. For future questions try starting a thread to get more eyes on your question. You can also try #reefsquad if you need additional help.

Yes I would say ghost flatworm. Here is a picture of one.

Awesome! Thank you for responding so promptly and I'll begin a new thread next time, I was in high hopes for coraline but was unsure with it being a recently new tank and all I've read says the dark red coraline is really hard to grow..I personally like it better than the pink so I'm very happy with that variety!
