Flat worms on glass

[S!mon]

I can't identify the little buggers, but would a six line wrasee eat flat worms off the glass? Thanks.

Most likely, six line won't eat flat worms. Some pipefish/dragonfish and dragonettes/mandarins may, but they're hit and miss.

You may have hydroids and not flatworms. How do they look?

they are rounded up front with a V shaped tail, I know this doesnt help much. They don't seem to bother any of my corals, but they accumulate on the glass and need to be cleaned off frequently. Thanks Len.

a melanarus wrasse will eat them, if they are flatworms.

siphon them off, or just use a straw. Close one end of the straw with your finger to hold the air, submerge the straw so that the other end is close to the worms. When you let go of the finger, the air will rush out and such in the worms.

If they are the white/clearish type of flatworm, which I still have, they are harmless. If they are red/orange....get them out now.

They are white and I've just been using my mag float to knock them off the glass. I have to do this almost daily, but if they are not harmfull, I don't mind. Thanks all.
