    Not sure exactly what these animals may be but they appeared on the side of my tank today near my gsp about 15 minutes after my pc turned on. Please identify if you can? The three jelly looking animals.

    Flatworms, siphon them out whenever you see them. You most likely will need to use Flatworm Exit to get all on them in your tank. It is best to use the FE now when your infestation is low so the flatworms will not poison your tank when they die.

    Ohh no. I will have to pick up some fe from my lfs. How do they get in the system? Hitchikers or a manifestation from too much waste/ overfeeding.

    Ok. I siphoned out the flatworms that i saw this am. Hopefully that is all. But may purchase fe just in case. In addition. I think this is an aptasia ? Can anyone confirm please?

    Hitchikers, originally. Things can't appear from no where.

    I see an aiptasia amongst some feather dusters.

    Can i erradicate the aptasia with airline tubing/ siphoning or hit it with aptasia x to melt it. I dont want anything else in the tank to suffer consequences
