Hi! What is this? Found it sliding around the glass in my 10g today.

Flatworm.

Flatworm.

But the not bad ones :)
They will go into check when your parameters stabilize-just to be sure let's get @Lionfish Lair

Boooo. Did a little reading, seems dangerous to coral (eats them?) and dangerous to fish when there are a lot and the die-off gets toxic.

True or no? Any other info I need to note about them? Just did a 50% water change (no livestock in there at the moment) and wondering if I should get something at the LFS to nip it in the bud.

It's true for the bad ones. This is not a bad one.
It's an amphiscolops flatworm. They will go away on their own. They don't eat corals. Look them up.

Oh I see now. Someone directed me to Lionfish Lair's guide. Incredibly useful.

Thank you! [emoji4]

Check it out @Lionfish Lair! You helped and didn't even know it!

YAY!!! I'm working on an app so it's not so painful to look at on your phone. I know it's not super mobile friendly, at the moment.

That'll be sweet!!! Can I volunteer for beta testing?

But of course!
