Stomies were awesome for me when I had them. They reproduced like crazy and I believe were helpful in cleaning the glass. I'd turn the lights on randomly at night to check up on everyone and they'd be swarming the glass! I seriously never had an algae problem in that tank....could have been other things...but I like to give the stomies some credit.

these guys are awesome.


specially when they have their "stoge breaks" from cleaning algae.
very easy to distinguish between male/female.

the females will squirt eggs (looks like microbubbles)
wish my fish/corals love

and the males will squirt sperm. (looks like smoke)

Cocopods or Arthropods?

Google them, see if that is it. They are also harmless.

Hmm .. saying grn and red. Hope not flatworm. Do another image search for Flatworm identification!

 

[Mattl22]

Oh man,
That's not good dude. I've been lucky and haven't been hit with any pests so far. "knock on wood." Try FWE. and then your gonna have to syphon the dead ones out. If you don't move everything from your biocube to solano I would've said dip everything before you move it.

 

[Mattl22]

I did and if I relized what they where I would have scrubbed them with a brush or something well tomorrow I'll go get the fwe hope fully it works my 2nd major set back in this hobbey!!! but if this was. Easy everyone would do it I won't quit!
btw I tried for 2 months to I'd those things i joined mr about a week ago within a week I had my answer I bought a tank met 2 awsome fellow hobbiests got some awsome frags this is a great fourm also any fish eat theses flat worms
