They were probably waminoa.

of course, the one time I cant dip because of the micro life i was trying to get, I get some friggin flatworm. Any idea what all corals they bother? This was a dead start tank so only have a few things other than fish. unfortunately I just glued all my favids down.. Do they feed on favids?

Apparently they don't harm corals directly but may overproduce and smother them. I should be safe after that dip. I will def have an eye out on everything.

I don' know about free food. What eats them? they were ticking off my hammer and flatworms can be a dreaded nusiance
