FLATWORMS!!!

[BlackiceClowns]

I've got confirmed two flatworms on one of my torch corals. WHAT DO I DO. This is one of my favourite pieces and would like it to stay alive.

Thanks

You will likely have to begin dipping on a regular basis to get rid of them. Folks here will probably tell you the same. Good luck!

Pluck them out..... but probably 100 more in your tank.

For now you can give it a shake in some fresh rodi and they'll fall off. This will buy you some time to come up with a plan.

I personally wouldn’t dip any coral besides zoas in fw, especially then there are dips less stressful on the coral itself

how big is your tank? do you have enough space for a wrasse? cause if you do they love to eat flatworms, My yellow corris wrasse does a great job at natural flatworm removal!

How big is the tank?

I've been dealing with red flatworms in my pico tank and I have resorted to using a turkey baster to suck them out, one by one. It's an ongoing battle.
