Hey Bob, I found out what those green things are on the glass of our fuges, they are flatworms. Not a good thing to have.

Uh, oh.

Right now I am trying to figure out if they are bad flatworms, or ones that are not bad. Luckilly they are only in my fuge, and my fuge has been disconnected for the time being until I find out exactly.

Here is a picture:

Looks like they are very bad.

Just got a reply from Dr. Ron, and this is what he said:

Your's are the infamous "red planarian," Convolutriloba retrogemma. These can, and often do reach plague proportions in reef tanks. Do a search of this forum, using "red planarian" or "Convolutriloba as your search key word. You will find a lot of threads discussing them and the potential cures for their infestations.


So far I cleaned out my fuge. I have none in my display tank, so that is good. I also have none in my sump that I can tell.
