    They are indestructable immortal beings. I kid you not, they reproduce by cloning so all identical back several million years and if you smoosh them each piece likely to be new one. They spread readily in the tank, can arbitrarily decide to let go and try another spot, and annoy the heck out of me. I also have a massive infestation of them in my fry tank and haven't noticed any losses or injury. I hear flubendozol (sp.?) works, but not sure of impact on other creatures, inverts and plants. Here is a link to a cool you tube channel that talks about their history like they are the best little critters ever. My vote is no worries, maybe try to get rid of them when fry gone.

     

    I had trouble with hydra in a few of my nano tanks I didnt want to use any chemicals with having shrimp so I got some spixi snails they got rid of it all I have them in all my tanks now as they bred i gave my mum some as she had hydra and hers as now all gone their a nice addition and only breed if you have a male and female together
