algae?

My tank is a mess right now. I am battling bryopsis, and some other thing that I thought was a type of algae, but after looking really close it kind of looks like a worm. They are about 1/8" long and are scattering on the LR and LS. They dont look to be on any of my corals. Anybody know what these ar4e?

Agreed those are flat worms!! Did you get a new piece of live rock from your LFS?? If so, chances are thats where they came from. Check this site out it might help you.... Good luck!

Darn. Man I am starting to get frustrated with my tank. Flatworms and bryopsis at the same time. I recently upgraded tanks and added a lot of new corals. I guess that is a reason to go slow as well. I might have to sell a few off to pay for treatment, but I dont want to pass this stuff on to anyone else. I guess I should scrub off the algae and flatworms, and worn them. Should I dip or anything?
