Sea slug ????

[mevstheworld]

I tried getting pics, but they are so small it looks like tiny red dots. I just recently noticed them. They are around 1/16" maybe 3/32" long, and are solid red. They look like the typical nudi/slug, but they don't have the frilly patch on they're rear end. I have seen at least 20+ of these things on liverock and floating in the water column. Any help would be greatly appreciated, and thanks for looking.

Sounds like red flatworms to me. Not good!

Here is an article from Melevs site:

Yeah, it's not flatworms. It's exactly what is posted but tiny and red. Thanks!

I know you said they are'nt flatworms, but your description of them says Red Planeria.

Are you sure?
