After picking up a few frags this weekend I received a message from the seller that he unknowingly has flatworms. Luckily for me the frags are still in my transport/frag bucket. Before adding them I dipped in revive and spotted some large pods, bristle worm and what I thought was a red flatworm(should have snapped a picture). I also saw small black critters that I've never seen swimming around. I'm still driving home and plan to dip the.all once again before they make it intoy DT but does anyone have any tips as I don't want to battle this in my own tank. Wish I had a pair of dentist glasses so I could inspect the corals but I might try setting up my tg6 camera with a macro lense and give them all a really good look over and brush before removing them from the dip water.
 
Definitely inspect them closely and remove everything but the coral (rock, frag plug, whatever else is in there). And try to get a picture of the worms

I dipped them a second time and morning came off of them. Got in there with a small make up brush and a light. Nothing came off the coral. I must have gotten them all the first time.
