What's in my tank? New to reef

[nicooleaz]

New to reef and spotted something this morning that's concerning. Movement is more worm-like?
At the ready to siphon out as many of these as I can..if they're bad news.

Thank you for your insight and help.
Tank is 4 months old.

Some pictures with white daylight might help with identifying them. Without better pictures I can’t really be positive, but they could be flatworms.

I agree. I can't tell what they are with those pictures. Turn off the blues and crank up the whites. Or, you can put an orange filter in front of your camera.

How bad are flatworms >.<

Will try to get a better pic when I can. I siphoned out the majority and from what I can tell, they haven’t reappeared in masses

Does this help at all? @Zer0 @T-J

Doesn't look like flatworms, so that's good.

 

[Zer0]

I agree, those are not flatworms. They look like copepods to me.

@Zer0 @T-J while I have you guys.. could you lend a hand one more time? Was intently staring and saw this. When I step back, it’s fluorescent green and looks like a tiny polyp, but there’s nothing on the rock it’s on other than a zoa that’s on a plug (not touching or encrusted onto the same rock)

TIA for any assistance. The older the tank gets the more I’m noticing lol

Way to blue, what’s it look like under whites?

Harder to capture sorry. Hope this is good enough

Sorry, just too blurry on my end.
SWAG is a baby nem, if it seemed to come out of nowhere.

Kinda looks like a Majano anemone to me. Bad guy.

I agree that it’s probably a majano.
