i have had a play with the camara
bev has had these in her tank now for two weeks i first thought they was flat worm and was ready to flatten the tank there and then but after researching theres over a 1000 diffrent strainsand i aint going threw that lot but i did go threw loads,
so some back ground on them , there orange in colour largest is about 3mm there life span seams to be just days but they multiply quite rapid, if the temp is lowered they die off *** with lower lighting as there declinedin population since dropping from250 to 150 halide, they dont touch the corals at all that are in the tank softies ie leathers and shrooms, they seam to eat just the macro alea and cyno,
so all that said heres some pics, the dish is 7cm and the gravel in side is red sea sand,

a little closer

closer still

as close as i could keepit in focus

any input would be great

They could be Red Planaria Flatworms, Your Mandarins should eat them (I think). Salifert Flatworm Exit will help. You could also try siphoning them out.
