????

hey does anyone know what im on about?? i got a really small thin thing, maybe 20mm long n pink?white swimming franticly around my tank? ive seen one before but just as i noticed it my puffer fish ate it, very vague details im afraid but its too fast to take a pic! please help guys?

 

My money is on Polyclad worm vs. flatworm.

 

are either of them harmfull to anything? itseems to just be swimming franticly in small circles around the tank?

 

Some polyclad worms eat clams and snails, and there is a whole list of flatworms most harmless, but unsightly, unless of course you get the acro eating flatworms.

I have seen polyclad worms do this type of swimming glide before and some larger flatworms. But you should really look at some pics.

Interesting to see what others say. Oh I dub aliens.;D

 

thanks for the input! yeah i always really appreciate a large spectrum of views! well i managed to catch it n put it in the tank im about to get rid off... give the lill thing a chane before i just throw it out... so ideas would be great peeps

 

Is it round like an earthworm, or flat? If it's round, and swimming in spirals, it's probably the epitoke of one of your polychaete worms. They are harmless and usually become fish food in an aquarium.
