Pest Identification! Weird white worm with spade head.

[Reefin RAaron]

Pest Identification! Currently in QT.

Purchased a small rock yesterday from a reefer with a couple of shrooms and so far have removed Asterina stars, I see small snails, flat worms of some sort, and a long white Nudi or worm of some sort with a spade shaped head. I’m planning on a Bayer dip but am concerned with residual staying in the rock. Try breaking the rock into smaller pieces?

Just out of curiosity, any idea on what type of snail, worms we have here?

Can anyone see the videos?

I can’t.

These are flatworms.

Doesn't seem to be the overtly bad kind that eat coral, but any flatworm has the potential to overrun the tank with the lack of biodiversity and nutrient imbalance.

Don't be worried unless you see a whole swarm of them. Wrasses can much on them too in the meantime

This is one thing I'm extreme on.

Planaria. Flatworm exit. Do it now rather than later. Don't give a hem a chance to reproduce.
