RUNAS Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 Hi found this guy last night looks like its been having a go at my Xenia, I think. Wont pass judgement just yet, but its were I found it and it look like the Xenia has got tears at the base, I thought the Xenia was just getting top heavy and tearing under its own weight,until I got this critter. I tried doing a search but could find anything, seems like its a flat worm Thanks RUNAS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reptilez Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 send it out happy Ouch! There are so many critters in marine aquariums that it is hard to search if they are good or bad :dno: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 possibly not a flatworm, it appears to have a head did you get a better pic of it while it was drunk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNAS Posted March 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 No I didnt, but it had a head kinda like a garden slug. I did read that there is over two thousand possible critters so ID may be impossible. RUNAS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
