They are on my glass and sand and rocks, but not all the time. Any ideas?

They look like flat worms. ....

Flat worms (planaria)

[sgarron]

Good or bad?

[plummike]

Very bad they are flatworms and will cover everything. Vac out what you can. Six line Wrasses will eat them.

I agree. Also Flatworm Exit is an option. I've done it twice without a problem. But if you do that you need to siphon out ever worm you see, probably every night for almost a week before you dose the tank. They secrete a poison when they die. I would say that for ever one you see.....there are probably 10-20 that you can't see.

I agree here too. (more likely that not, the wrasses will eat them.) Although the Wrasses will not completely eradicate the problem. However, it will never go hungry!

I never had them in my 65, I guess they came in on the 150lbs of lr I got from a local guy breaking down his tank. I was wondering why he didn't want them anymore. I'll syphon what I can and add a six line.

The six-line wrasse is unlikely to eat them, but some people get lucky. Not very many.

[chillman]

my six line wouldnt eat them. try and siphon out as many as possible when you do water changes. I had to use flatworm exit, and then run heavy carbon to remove all the toxin from dead flatworms.
