pest problem..

[jiffy]

I've spotted about 15-20 small brown flat worms, never had them before... what should I do?

Can you snap a pic of them? Guessing they are Red Planaria Flatworms. They are manageable for sure. A proper id will help with proper suggestions.

can't get a good pic with my iPhone, sorry.. but I googled the name and they look exactly like that.. I recall seeing them at this tiny hole in the wall reef store in mass numbers through out their refugium, after I had already bought a frag of zoas a week before from them.. I assume that's how they hitch hiked their way into my tank. I have a 28g nano cube, with a goby, harlequin shrimp, sexy shrimp, and a pom pom crab. I've heard of some fish eating flatworms but would these fish harm any of my inverts?

If they are the so called rust or brown flatworm, Salifert flatworm exit will take care of them in a second!...it's ideal you do something quickly they can get out of hand pretty fast!

...here's some pics just to make sure this is what your talking about.... if so the Flatworm Exit is the solution...

+1 to that. I tried every "natural" solution to no avail. EXIT worked great. May take a couple treatments though.
