I am new to this and have a few questions

[kiwi]

Hi I have had my tank since Jan. And I have a few questions needing answers. For one I have a few critters on my glass one is small and brown and I think it might be what you all call flatworms but i'm not sure it has a tail like a tuxedo. What is this and how can I get ride of them? And if I have my hands in the tank all the time can these worms infest humans like for instance a tapeworm? Anybody know??????

These kinds of "critters" can be very hard to ID, if possible I would suggest getting a digital pic and posting it here. You would be suprised how quickly that will get an answer.

In the meantime a good place to look is hitchikers FAQ, planaria aka flatworms, polychaetes and possibley nudibranc/seaslugs.

Cheers
Steve
