are these bugs good?

look like clear flatworms to me but I want to be sure. Pic is from the sump of the big tank that's going through the fallow stage so no real predators.

I was just about to ask this same question, I believe Ive got the same thing in my new 60g...

I see a fat happy six line in there in the near future

get a small one. the larger ones are mean.

plan is to move the one from my other tank to the sump when it's time to transfer everything, it's still on the small side and this way I don't have to get rid of it in favor of nicer wrasses.

Just ugly

For now they're only in the sump but since I only have shrimp and crabs in the display I expect them to make it there soon, wrasse food for thanksgiving when I plan to add some fish

I haven't seen that with the white ones, Becca. IME they are a part of the normal flora and fauna found in almost every reef tank.

The ones that can be an issue for overpopulation are red flatworms, not the white ones. I have just never heard of the white ones overpopulating a tank.

Doesn't mean it couldn't happen, I just have never seen it myself.

I thought about posting this in the new user forum too

They look like acoel flatworms. Harmless, I think they are pod predators.

here's a pic with some pods in the frame, it may be the other way around judging by size
