Giant Flatworm!

[|sCRIBe|]

I thought I was looking at the bottom of a snail til I realized this was a flat worm and it was huge compared to anything I’ve seen before. I didn’t take any chances and got it out with tongs and a siphon but what the heck is this thing?

Maybe Polyclad? Also, I would take a tube and syphon it out ASAP, they rip into pieces to create more if you disturb them.
P.S I haven’t seen a single beneficial flatworm in this hobby.

yea it does look like some type of polyclad but who knows if this is a bad one? I didn’t realize til after the tongs got half of it and the other half I sucked up with a syphon. A couple tiny grain size pieces got away. dang this sucks if it turns into something bad down the road

You can freshwater dip them and they will die away or if you just wanna do it naturally get a yellow coris wrasse

Yeah chances are it’s bad. Dip your euphillia occasionally, I know most of these guys eat corals.
