"Everything you see on the rocks that looks like brown/red algae is flatworms. Like you, i was looking at them for quite a while before i realized i had a problem. Flatworm Exit worked. I did have to do two treatments though."

I read your other post and am now convinced that you have flatworms. With your tank being as new as it is, there is no way that those are pods. You need to look into using Flatworm Exit probably plan on doing more than one treatment. Follow the directions exactly as they are and you should be okay. good luck!!!

In that pic they are on all of the rock and there are some on the sand. You will probably need a better camera to get a close up of anything that small.

It wasn't me!
Mandarin, slow down brother, you have people here trying to help you out. If you are convinced they are pods then I say roll with it. Both the members trying to help you are giving you advice from years of nowledge. Without pics, one has to assume. If their assumption is wrong (as you seem to think it may be), then you have pods.
