Dang flat worm first pest over ten years.

As title says first pest. Tank info 220 with 40 gallon breeder plumbed in as frag with 75 gallon Sump. I dip everything except clams sure that’s where it came from bought one a month ago it’s dead unfortunately have had clams for years. Scrub looked at didn’t see anything on clam of course. How to treat without killing tank any info or experience would be gratefully excepted.

edit. They look to only be in my frag tank but I’m sure they’re in DT also.

some of them look like ghost but wrasse will clean up flat worms. Maybe not completely eliminate but keep population in check .

I had a breakout of these guys like month 3 into set up noticed them on the glass and some corals. I read they don’t actually harm the corals but will proliferate so I left them and they have just disappeared.

Nice pice except for the onr with the flat worms. Have we positively IDed these as coral eaters?
