Flatworm - Amphiscolops....YAY for Cranberry's "book" I finally located it in the thread, looked, and found my "worm"
Now for confirmation sake..they are harmless?????

 

[loopy101]

i think these critters come and go through out the tanks life. i had them shortly after i set one of my tanks up and then they were gone then i seen a few and now i havent seen any for a very long time.as from what i understand no flat worm is good. but i dont think this type of flat worm is anything to worry about either.
any one else?? would like to know for sure myself!

 

[meowzer]

They are actually in my refugium....But I am waiting to hear what anyone else has to say about them...

 

[renogaw]

harmless to everything but copepods...
fun to watch, but they will die off eventually

So since they are in my fuge, will they eat all my pods??
And can they get into the DT? I have never seen them there.

yes they will eat pods until there's none to eat
yes, they may be able to get into the dt, just like pods can.
i'd syphon them out as you can see them.

OK, Are they something that you do not want to touch? Don't want to take any chances...

 

[renogaw]

as a girl you may not want to touch it
it's just easier to suck em up with a turkey baster

LOL...I'm lucky I got the pic I did....I thought I did good

I believe that is what I remember them being called...They are only in sump...are they okay??

 

[spanko]

Is this them??
picture from melevs reef.

Scypha sponge harmless filter feeders.

 

[meowzer]

Yes, I thought you had posted a pic of them in an earlier thread too...I wonder why they are only in the fuge?
SO they are fine then?

 

[spanko]

They are very fine. They grow in the areas of high current flow, I bet you have some in the pipe leading from your display to your sump. They may disappear over time as most do not stay around long.
