Little snails?

Found these on my glass today and was wondering...I don't have fish or anything to eat the eggs yet, so here goes. Its the little things about 1 o'clock and 8 o'clock according to the big snail. (funny since he's about 3/8" long).

 

Looks like flatworms

 

+1 chichi----that is exactly what I was thinking

 

+2...

 

I think they are kittens. You shouldnt declaw them because that would be inhumane.

 

Best natural way to rid them? Anyone had a wrasse or mandarin actually eat any?

 

6 lines are known to slurp them down. manual/natural removal would be the way I would try to rid them instead of the headache that comes with using a medication like flatworm exit.

 

Yup, I also thought flatworms as soon as I saw the picture. Since you don't have anything in the tank yet, I'd use flatworm exit to remove them.

 

Yep those are flat worms and for every one you see, there are probably 1,000,000 that you don't see.

 

My mandarin cleaned up my flatworm population, but it's never a sure thing and I had plenty of pods as well.

 

Yeah, I'd just rather not use any chemicals if I don't have to.

 

Is this in the 20 long or a different tank?

 

20 long , buddy.
