Bug ID, please

Any ideas?

 

I first noticed the little buggers today on the glass of the new 125g, which has been running for a few weeks now with substrate and a few chunks of LR from the 55g. None seen in the 55g, however.

 

And sorry for the lowsy photo quality -- but they're really small (like that of a fruit fly), and this was the best I could get after cropping down on a macro shot.

 

Thanks.

Looks like a flatworm--but one of the harmless type.

Siphon off all you can find - and hope your 6-line eats the rest. I mean, everyone has a 6-line wrasse, don't they?

This appears to be one of the harmless types of flatworms, a type that I've seen in lots of marine tanks. Why not just leave 'em alone?

Because 10,000 of them is rather unsightly.
