Hello to all...

aefw.jpg
 
its really flat as in flat
and the lenght is maybe half inch or smaller
and its white.... really white... and no shell.....

when u mentioned flatworm? good or bad? aefw?
 
not AEFW. Probably just a harmless flatworm unless it grows really big and starts eating fish. :eek: Could also be a stomatelly without its shell.
 
Not AEFW, nor nudi EFW, nor red planaria nor even lettuse nudi.
There are 1000s of flatworms out there and most are harmless. Keep an eye on it but should be OK for now.
 
Cesar - my experience with AEFWs is their coloring is almost the same as the coral to a little on the brown side. They are nearly impossible to see on the coral itself, unless you take it out and observe the branches after the coral dries a bit. I'm not saying that is what your flatworm is, I'm just giving you more of a description.

Here is some reading material:
