Not sure what these little critters are. They are always on the glass of my 20L. I can clean them off and within an hour they return. Sorry if the pic is bad but they are small and it was hard to get a good photo.

Those are flatworms, looks like you have a pretty bad infestation. What fish are in the tank?

I thought they were flatworms also so last week I treated the tank with a flatworm treatment and they retuned this week. I have 1 maroon clown and a bi color basslet (unsure if that's the correct name).


Hahahaha!!!! Now that I look at them they do look like PAC MAN ghosts!!!

City Pets had several nudibranches in stock the last time I was in there, they not only look really cool but they will help keep you problem under control. Once all the flatworms are gone, however, you will have to find a new home for the nudibranches or they will likely starve and die.

I dip everything in Salifert's Flatworm eXit before putting in the tank and it works wonderfully. Dead flatworms everywhere!! I've never treated the tank with it, but people do it with great results. It's reef safe and instructions are in the box. I'm sure someone here has more experience with it
