There was an article.abour FWE a while back and it mentioned fwe being harsh on corals even if water change and carbon are done after treatment. Something about it being acidic I'd I remember correctly. Flatworms toxicity as well when they die.
Any one found d any articles or.references.about planaria life cycle, like how long do their eggs take to hatch (need to retreat after any existing eggs hatch) how long does it take new burns to be able to reproduce. That will affect treatment plans. Also do they lay eggs on corals like acrp fw? Any pics of those ?

I had a few red planaria pop up and my sixline wrasse took care of them quickly, but i wouldnt get one they are pretty agressive. Have not seen any planaria for a long time

This wasn't even the worst. Fresh water dip with adrop of Coral RX.
Didn't even need the coral RX. Fresh water instantly made them fall off. Crazy. It was maybe a thousand on the Toad. Didn't take a pic
