lucky you.
I bought a piece about 2 weeks ago for my pico with 30+ polyps on it.
I am looking into my tank now, and... I see 2 polyps.

Not sure where you are headed in your tank adventure however theses are like weeds. Pretty weeds, but weeds in the garden, at least when it comes to SPS.  They can out grow many things and take over. 

In a softy tank they are an awesome freebee. I would think many LPS would out compete them but many would not. SPS would fail...


Good find, enjoy.. Maybe keep em isolated on their own island rock?

really?

[Hookup]

sorry mate, i was being "not funny" apparently... the line from the sixth sense... "i see dead people... everywhere... some of them do not even know they are dead?"

[Darth]

I was just wondering because I dont see the flatworms, if they are there than I am missing them

[reefdava16]

Looks like flatworms on your reefepoxy.

[veron]

you must have xray vision because I cannot see planaria in those pics.

[Darth]

me either

[Hookup]

On the gray epoxy holding the frag-plug down has some black dots that are not exactly circular... more oval... this is the right size and shape for flatworms (that i've seen)... but the color is different than what i've seen.  These are black and the flatworms i've seen are white ones and i've seen some yellow/brown colored ones... but hey, it's a big ocean...

it is my understanding flatworms are white as well

Brown flatworms are bad.  White are good.  From what I know about flatworms
