i have those in my sump and my wife says there limpits. im sure someone can tell you excactly. good luck

Does it have any kind of shell on it's back? If so, I agree with the limpit ID. If not, it may be a type of flatworm.

reefkeeper135 01/05/2008 04:27 PM

no shell, it is alomost completely flat. good or bad?

nanoDude 01/05/2008 06:00 PM

That's bad. It looks like an acro eating flatworm to me. Check out the [url=http://www.melevsreef.com/id/flatworm.html]Melev's reef ID page[/URL]. It looks just like the third and fourth pics.

wow looks just like the 3rd pic only white, will get it out now!!

reefkeeper135 01/05/2008 06:18 PM

so does this mean there are probably more? I keep only softies and a few lps will they hurt them?

It does not look like an Acro Eating Flat worm to me. (Look at Melevs page, AEFW are redish that looks much bigger then on Melevs site where he talks about treatement, but it's hard to judge scales

That being said many flat worms are bad, but not all... Not sure on that one, cause id is going to be next to impossible.
