Default ID request for critter found on glass

The big guy in the middle....

Seen a half dozen of these little creatures on the glass. I've never really seen it move around or at lest perceived it moving. As pictured it is 3mm in length. Something good or something to try and nuke?



Thanks a boatload!

A flatworm if some sort not sure which breed as I have no Experiance or luck knowing which is which but I do know nuke it and where there is one there may be more

Options:
Scooter blenny make sure it eats frozen as well
Flatworm eating wrasse.
Flatworm exit... Make sure you follow Instructions and don't leave tank unattended while dosing the toxin released could nuke tank from the death scoop out as many as you can and have water changes readily a available.

Looks like a flat worm. They can multiply like mad.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

I'm on the flat worm side as well. I would suggest a wrasse from the The family (yellow coris, and melanurus ect.)

The fish solution is out as it's only a little 6 gal tank. I guess flatworm exit might be in order. Will have to read up on this product and where to get it! heh
