My tank is 7 months old, 32 gallon with a variety of coral. I have 1 power head deep under the back side of my coral.

This red creature (maybe flat worm) started to grow, but I noticed today theres a pattern.

I did a water change today of 10 gallons. I sucked most of the red things stuck on glass using a magnet brush with a vacuum siphon following them.

Any idea how to prevent them from coming back or growing from where their hiding, is there a fish that will eat them?

Hi! I have battled them in the past. I vacuumed all of them I could out then used Salifert Flatworm Exit with much success. Just make sure to manually remove all you can first and read the directions well. The flatworms become toxic when they die.
