flatworm

I know these are flatworms but I’m not sure about the species. Any help on best action to kill/remove from tank would be greatly appreciated. I’ve lost a frogspawn and hammer and keep trying to save what’s left. So far I’ve dipped the coral with just “seachem reef dip”. It doesn’t seem to phase...

I found what I'm 99% sure is red Planeria on my soft coral. I'm experienced in the fish world but this is my first tank with Coral. I have some soft corals along with a bunch of fish. So how much do I need to worry about this? Is this something that may not cause any harm if left or do I need to...

Hi Everyone, So after some long painful searches, I can find little to no data regarding the dipping of clean up crew members, specifically Trochus snails. For those who have encountered an unwanted flatworm invasion, I think it is useful to understand that the shells of our CUC can harbor any...

There is no triangle head...

So, this is an ongoing process and what I have done so far. Purely Information for others. Maybe help for me. I started a new 240g roughly 300 total volume and easy math. This was January. I put some corals in March and dipped In fresh water since I saw flatworms on them. I’m pretty rash and it...

There is a dozen or so of what seems to be flatworms on my favia. There don't seem to bother the coral at all. In opposite, it looks very healthy. And considering the number of them, it is not a recent development. I am not sure where they came from. What should I do about them? Dip the coral...

I believe I have some flatworms on a frag and have done a freshwater dip to no avail. They didn’t fall off so I’m not sure exactly what I should do I did the dip about 3-4 days ago.

So I noticed my clam was closed up today and upon further inspection I see these little rust colored what I assume are flatworms on it. Are these cause for concern?

I am quite sure about its specie, but before killing it want to be totally sure :/ Could it be sea rabbit or a good hitchhiker ?

I’ve got a 37 gallon live rock and live sand only things in the tank as of now is a feather duster, astraea snails, nassarius snails, and a tuxedo urchin. I recently introduced a frag of zoa but I did dip it and inspected thoroughly before placing in tank. I noticed today a little critter...

Below is from a slightly older post but everything still applies plus I added a scarlet skunk cleaner shrimp. I have a 14 gallon cube currently with a pair of young percula clownfish (one is probably 2 inches or so and the other might be 1.5ish), as well as several hermit crabs and snails, with...

I've found one or two of these guys on my glass and while searching for an ID all I come across is the red planaria flatworm, but this one doesn't 100% fit the pictures of others so it makes me unsure. I'm sorry about the quality of the pictures, this was the best my phone could manage. It...

Hello all, Ive been absolutely BATTLING flat worm ever since the edition on my torch. I have flat worn exit and it says it doesn’t effect corals but they significantly look affected when the flatworm exit gets put in. I follow directions exactly but they keep on coming back. I do it every seven...

Found a few of these guys crawling around this morning amidst the prazipro induced chaos.

I had a red planaria breakout and treated it with flatworm exit. Treatment was good as only did half recommended measure but severely under estimated the amount of worms in tank. Toxin from dead worms has wiped everything out, only bits of coral flesh sticking out from rocks. Have totally...

Found about 4 of these things in my sandbed coming out at night. White worms about 2 inches long or so. Any one know what they are?

Hello Reefers, I wanted to share my experience with a product to remove Flatworm in your tank. I documented a little bit of the reaction on different corals also. If there anyone who uses this product before let me know if it worked for you.

Hi, I just started finding these flatworms in my tank. They are normally on my live rock and not on coral. They have a hard texture, with a pattern on their back. Does anyone know what specie of flatworm they are, and if they’re something I should be worried about? thanks in advance!

Hello I’m very sad this is my first lps coral . I noticed that flat worms was eating my coral and I read that the best is to soak in to ro water for 15sec. Flat worms fall off but my coral looking very bad. I read also It will take time to regeneration but can it be for sure? Please any advice?

So I've never seen these in my tank before. However, I'm redoing my live rock and have just removed all my live rock and substrate at the moment, so I'm sure where ever it was living, his home has been disturbed. I've never seen any on my corals, and on inspecting still don't see any ??? Anyone...

I recently had to remove a 3mm flatworm away from my Rainbow Bubble Tip Anemone, very odd but it came off very easily with a turkey baster. I wish I had taken a photo but I was too surprised to document the situation, has anyone experienced similar issues?

Hey guys, I have been having MANY of these little things all over my shrooms... 6 weeks ago I removed most of them with a small pump... I thought I was done with them but I just realized that they are back!! I think they are flatworms.. and there are many of them (hundreds, maybe a...
