Flatworms

[Joshua2598]

Bucket full of flatworms and I forgot to buy dip. Just got home from the Lfs and I give the frog spawn a little shake and off come a hundred flat worms. What do I do???

 

[Joshua2598]

They haven't been in the tank I just started the dip

Drip*

I wouldn’t add it to my tank without dip. Especially not after seeing all of those

I did a h2o2 dip and got off alot after some viscous dipping. I think I'm all clear

Now I've got a bucket of flat worms. Those things are super fast [emoji32]

Wow idk if I would risk even after the first dip. Do you happen to have a qt ? I had something similar happen to me this week with a frag of favia. I have ptsd pest traumatic stress disorder

A qt is on my wishlist. I would love to have but there is no space!

I agree I would put it in quarantine if I were you. If some made it somehow they would infect your hole tank. In my opinion it's not worth it.

Iodine is also a good dip! You can mix some tank water and let it sit for 30 minutes in iodine and it also kills pests,

Will have to buy some dip on amazon or something. I had no idea there was going to be so many posts on one tiny frogspawn!!!!

I know, I was frantically searching ace for some! They didn't have it so I did h2o2.

 

[Joshua2598]

Here he is in his unofficial spot with the zoa I also got

 

[Joshua2598]

The h2o2 worked a lot of flatworms came off shriveled and I'm confident he'll do fine!

Flatworms are hard to get rid of once started in a tank. If you suspect any are left it is a bad idea to introduce it into your main tank.

I'm gonna be honest, I think I way overdosed the h2o2. Almost to the point of extreme. I believe I killed them all.

I thought I saw one on him actually and I went in with the ol stainless steel tongs and turns out it was a vermited snail (I think) and I broke his shell completely. Oops

I really like peroxide and I use it full strength usually and just dip it for shorter. I think perixide From the store is only like 3% H2O2 to start and the rest is water. It works really well with killing alge and not coral. SPS corals can be super sensitive to it but I've seen awesome results fighting alge with it
