Little bug on mushrooms.

[JMM744]

This little guy has been on the shrooms for a while . At first I thought it was a spot but tonight I saw it moving around. Doesn't seem to be hurting them any. Not the greatest picture with the blues on.

Got yourself some flatworms.

So is that a problem? If so what do I do about them? Thanks for the reply to One!

I am dealing with something similar. It's not a good thing, seems you caught it early on like me. I'm waiting for the Blue stripe Nudibranch which eats them to try to out as others said that worked. You can also go other routes like flatworm exit which i have not done. And better yet if its only that mushroom remove, dip, manually remove.

I'd like to see a little better pics with whites on. There's different flatworms.
Some are worse. Some are just kinda ugly in small numbers.

Yea thats a flatworm, there redish maroonish brownish right?. Those kind prefer to host mushrooms and euphyllia. You can dip them, or use something like flatworm exit.

Yes on the color. The mushrooms are on a large piece of blue ridge so not easy to dip. It's the only coral I never dipped before placing in a tank. Might just have to find a container and try it. Will they also be spread around the tank? I have some montipora and a brain coral and one spas that I just placed . They were dipped. Thanks for the I.D. and suggestions.

I dont think they even bother other stoney/sps especially. Maybe you may see them on the brain, try flatwormexit or just use a baster and suck them up

Thanks. Will try getting after them tomorrow night.
