Found in frag tank

Unstoppable algae! · Mar 27, 2020

Just purchased some new corals, dipped in revive. 30 minutes found this guy slithering on the glass.

Any idea what type of flatworm it is? The type that eat pods by chance, or coral predator?

Hope the picture is good, because the flatworm is very dead

Thanks all!!

Thanks.
Title should read quarantine, not frag tank. It was late last night .
I have never came across any pest while running a Q tank. How should I handle it. Do I keep running tank while inspecting for more?
Should I be considering treating the Q tank flat worm X?
Tank has 2 torches, favia zoas & shroom. Algae blenny & possum wrasse.
Thanks again!!

The wrasse may eat it. Did you pull it out of the tank?

The flatworm is out yes. The corals never made it to the main display, they were dipped and put in quarantine. That is when I noticed the flatworm. "Title was misleading. My bad"
I wouldn't think it's an AEFW because there are no acros in my Q tank. Although there were acros where I bought the corals?
I dipped in revive & scrubbed with a tooth brush.
