Hey! So when I went to do my feeding today I noticed tubs of these little pieces of neon orange pink things in the sand bed, I siphoned a few out and their consistency is jelly like and squishy. They’re a little clear in some spots too. The size is about 1-2 mm and are near impossible to get a clear photo of. They seem a little curved over themselves too. Any idea what they are?

Tank inhabitants:
- 3 variants of acan lords: purple/green, pink/orange & orange/green/yellow
- brown torch with white tips
- orange Yuma Ricordea
- 3 Zoas: green/orange, purple/green & orange/purple
- gps
- neon candy cane
- duncan
- red monticap (was bleached when I bought it so it’s a pink colour)
- green birds nest
- birds of paradise
- rainbow clove polyps
- dragons breath macro algae

- six line wrasse
- tuxedo urchin
- 3 difderenttypes of snails

Red Planaria flatworms.

six line wrasse as well as Lunare or melanurus wrasse should eat them. First defense is to siphon any and all you ccan see.
Plan B would be blue velvet nudibranch. If a no
Plan c is Flatworm exit dosed at 80% of recommended . Siphon the dead ones frequently as the dead ones can release toxins

Hey guys! I siphoned the sand and haven’t seen them since! I’m hoping my Sixline wrasse is also keeping them in check! Thanks for your input guys!
