Hey everyone,

I recently bought a duncanopsamma frag and today while feeding I noticed these brown things on it. I tried to take a video so you could see.
I just started the hobby a few months ago so any help would be very appreciated. Kind of freaking out it’s something bad
Hope the footage is OK. Im guessing it’s some kind of flatworm…

It's a flatworm. I would remove and carefully check for more. If you have wrasses, most from the genus Halichoeres, Macropharyngodon, or Pseudocheilinus eat them.

Thank you!
just to be sure you mean manual removal right? Or dipping in something? No wrasses I’m afraid. Think the tank is a bit too small for them. (60 liters)
already check d the rest of the tank and don’t see them thankfully.

Manual removal and dipping. Also check for eggs. I will let others chime in as far as dipping. I've used CoralRx and iodine in the past, but my wrasses solve all those problems now.

Thanks! Will get straight to it!
