Isopod? Flatworm"? Or something not so dangerous?

:confused:I'm hoping this isn't a danger but I have a bad feeling it is. So, what is it?

It could be an amphipod or an isopod. It looks a lot like Munnid isopod which are harmless herbivores. You can see it better than I can in the picture so take a look at these Hitch Hiking Copepods, Isopods and Amphipods

There are some bad isopods out there but there are also some good ones. Good luck!

Thanks for the link! It does indeed look to be a Munnid isopod. Which kinda makes sense, I just moved my 4 Shaving Brush plants to a refugium from the tank, so they had probably come from those, and without the plants to eat were scavenging the algae on the tank sides.
