Well, Idk if it is or not but its definitely a possibility that it is, so I would remove it ASAP if you haven't already

can you post a pic of it floating in water ? I know that's asking alot but it would help identify it.
guarentee thats a little critter that comes with the blackworms uve been feeding. seen em before. dont think thats the problem.jmo.
you mean the parasitic leeches that can come with the blackworms? i don't think it is, but could be wrong.
This looks like a nematode worm, camallanus.
scroll down on this link to nematodes to see if you think this is what you have found.

If so you need to use levamisole, carefully.
Prazi or metro won't touch them.

I know.... But the flower is fine now? Plus, i did not see the swelling but did see the heavy breathing BEFORE putting them with the flower. The female p14 was with the flower too..
Hard to say. I saw it laying in the tank on the ray. I just used a net and scooped it up.
It was just laying on the ray when i noticed it. I left it out for a hour or so and it was dried up to almost nothing.
I wondered that!
Only thing that throws me off is it says "reddish"?? IT was kinda yellowish green color??
Hard to say Forsure!
