I was doing some maintenance on my aquarium. I have a 40 gallon all in one. I took some macro algae out of my refugium and put it in a bowl of salt water and when I did, I noticed that I have red flat worms living in my refugee. I’ve never seen them in the display ever. How much of an issue is this?

A scooter blenny will be all over the moon for these😀 They use Photosynthesis and can multiply fast but - IMO - no problems because there is fish that eat them.
