I have had a blue lobster in a medium sized tank for 8 months, molted three times, and seems to be very healthy, and he is on his own, he likes the taste of baby barbs!!
The only problem is small white-ish worms on the glass, and at night, small wriggling similar sized worms in the water, risin and falling.
How can I get rid of these pests? Although they don't seem to be doing any harm, they are unsightly.
I have been regularly changing the water, to about one quarter depth, and the temp is at 28 degrees.
Frozen lancet fish are fed, but he(?) doesn't seem to like frozen mussels.
Can anyone help?
Thanks for any reply.

simple answer. Cut down feeding the lobster as much as you do, that is the main cause for planeria and it would also help to just try and scrape some off and pull em out
