    I don't think you want either because they have an avenue to your DT through your pumps. Nuke 'em.

    The anemone has things whose name I can not remember that they can release into the water and then they could easily get into the DT. The other could migrate there eventually and become an unsightly mess if they have enough to feed on.

    I've had those types of acoel flatworms before. They appear in the tank for a few weeks and then just disappear and then come back again. They seemed to die off when the small copepod population was culled. The copes multiply and then a few weeks later so do the worms.

    No harm no foul really.

    +1 with Newreef15 get yourself a sixline. He will eat your pods but I'm sure you can live with that.
