Aefw??

[tautog83]

So I just received a coral order and in the bag of 2 gonipora I see a couple of these on sides of bag? What do you guys think ? If it is I'm just dumping whole order not playing around

flat worms...dip it

 

[tautog83]

[Webslinger]

?? thats what wrasses are for

 

[tautog83]

ya , thats not how i roll..lol anybody else on confirmation ?

Looks like a U shaped tail? Looks like the kind that flatworm exit kill, can’t come up with a name at the moment. I’m no expert mind you.

No reason to “dump” the order. Do you qt or at least dip your corals? Like fish, corals often come with pests, were all kidding ourselves to think vendors run complicated qt processes. We need to have our own measures in place to protect our tanks.

right im not positive , i could make a little dip with flatworm exit as i have some but my main concern is my acros, i dont want to be gambling

Yes this is....you want no parts of them in your tank.

Try the flatworm exit dip before doing anything drastic. If they fall off dead that will be a good indication. Then inspect with a magnifying glass before putting into the tank. Also replug the frags before putting into your tank.

i dont see that point in the middle though

I'd dip it in multiple solutions at seperate times, coral RX, flatworm exit had a similar issue with a wall hammer. Dipped brushed and dipped until nothing came off 3 drips before we felt iffy about putting it in QT. Monitored on a frag rack for a few weeks until we felt we were out of the clear.

What vendor did you get the pieces from? Did you contact them about their little issue?
