OK I would like to change the name of this thread to billions of brittle stars. The flatworms seem to still be with me but not as many as before. Maybe only millions now 
I am more impressed by the multitudes of brittle stars. I knew I had a lot but I had no idea I had this many.
I was target feeding my copperband butterfly and some clams went under a ledge of a rock. Immediately the area became a sea of arms. Then from a near by rock, more arms emerged until it looked like they were playing
"It's Raining Men" at a female spider convention.
There were arms all over the place. Or is it legs? Anyway, I was curious so I lifted some more rocks and they are all over the place. They were always in there, just not in those numbers.
Cute little suckers and like the flatworms, amphipods, tubeworms, Paris Hilton and everything else in there, they are welcome to stay as long as they like.

I live on Royal Way in manhasset hills. Right off Shelter rock road.
I have had a flatworm population pop up in may tank as well. Well actually the sump is the only place I see them. I did read they eat pods, but it seems my pod population is booming quicker than they are.
I felt an urgency when I first read about them and even did a search for Flatworm exit. But two weeks later I haven't acted yet. Guess it's that wait and see attitude. I've waited and haven't seen any ill effects as of yet.

Wow Paul, first you have an amazing tank, second I completely agree with your philosophy about hitch hikers/unknown inhabitants, I can't wait to get my tank going and see what I can't get to come on in and live there for a while haha
Do most of your "surprise" inhabitant hitchhike from rock I assume?
