Help, so I think I have flat worms. Very very small on the glass near sand and wiggle up glass . I'm talking 1/16" small. Clear or brown in color. Noticed them after adding 5 Anthias from online vendor.
I put one under a microscope and look (best I can describe) like the ghosts you used to draw on paper when u where a kid. I had them in a bubble of water on the microscope slide and added the smallest amount of flatworm exit to the slide and it died. All good right?! Added to the tank and killed most. Still see some on glass 24 hours later. Not as many but also see tiny stringy worm like things on glass. Sorry to small to take pic. I know I should re-dos the flat worm exit but wanted to reach out first
Thanks

Some wrasses eat them and sometimes they just die off depending on the type. I loathe flatworms!!! Wish I could be of more help. #reefsquad

You might want to id it first before you dose again. Not that theres nothing wrong with using exit, you may not need too considering -if the flatworms are in on the glass, theyre most likely anything but a coral eating variety. Check out planaria, let me see if i can get a link for you

Not much, but theres also common grey/ translucent flatworms that indeed look like little ghost lol. That are harmless scavangers
