Euphilia eating flatworms

[johnyboy]

Hey guys

I just had an infested piece of frogspawn with flat worms. I decided to throw the piece out because it was so bad. I believe they are euphilia eating flatworms. Do I need to treat my tank now? Or are they specific to euphilia? If I do need to treat how do I do it ? This sucks . Quick response will be appreciated thanks!

Set up QT tank for new corals.

Set up QT tank for new corals.

Do you think my tank is infested? Or maybe it was just on my frogspawn ? You think I have to used flatworm exit?

Did you see any more flatworms in DT?

No I don't. I threw out that frogspawn hopefully I caught it in time I'm not sure. If I do see them what should I do? Flatworm exit ?

How big is your tank?

 

[Hogan]

Hate those. Flatworm exit works well on them but be SURE to run new carbon after treatment to avoid coral damage. Also, know that it will take a couple of treatments. I usually do 3 (5 to 7 days apart on each) and that usually clears it up.

Some species of Wrasse is god for pest control like flatworms.

Probably should have just dipped the coral.
Then decide if you need to treat the tank.

I'm guessing you have more elsewhere in the tank.. For wrasse, my favorite worm murderers are Melanarus and Solarensis. I've also seen people have luck with assorted varieties of damsels..

I would definetly go the fish route before bombing the tank

Do you have any other euphyllia in your tank?
