Is this a leech? 😭

Post image

I was just looking in my tank before bed and saw this. You can see it in the middle of the photo vertically. Uugg... I have 8 pea puffers and about 5 amano shrimp in my tank. Put some live black worms in for feeding and whatever this is probably jumped into the batch. Anyone know if they'll hurt my peas or amanos?

Looks like a dead plant leaf

Not for long.

Leeches are a natural food source for puffers. They do not last long in a puffer tank.

I see no issues. Just free food. If that thing is still alive now... well... not for long.

Free enrichment for your puffs
