I am dealing with my first ever problem with flatworms. I am not sure what type they are though. I have seen the description of bad red planaria and I'm not sure if that is what I have. My digital camera is getting repaired so I can't get a picture.
The largest are about 1/4 inch long and round on one end and like two round ends on the other end with a v shape between them. I wish I could think of a better explanation. They are a pink or almost purple color and I thought they were coraline algea before I saw one move around. The only place I see them are on my mushrooms and there are quite a few of them.
Attached is a simple drawing that resembles the shape and color of whatever it is all over my mushrooms. I've heard a six line wrass is good for getting rid of the them. Is that a good idea? I don't want to use flatworm exit unless I have too due to the risk of them polluting and killing my live stock.
Thanks for any help.
