Polyclad flatworm?

[Cthulukelele]

Hey so I have this tiny flat wormlike thing that's wrapped around my hammer. It's been in there for awhile. The hammer fully extends. It doesn't seem to be harming or eating it. Is it some sort of polyclad flatworm? Should I try to remove it? It is in the center of the attached photo wrapped around one of the hammers. It's maybe the size of a pinky nail and about the color of purple corraline algae.

I added a better photo

I would remove to be safe. Can u dip the coral?

It is a branching hammer that would be easy to remove. I just didn't know if it was worth it to stress out the coral since it seems totally fine with the flatworms

I cant answer definitively if its worth the stress as i cant id with it on.
Can you suck it off it?

Here's another image if that helps. Probably can't siphon it. It's super flat

If it's super fast ,it's probably a polyclad.

Flatworm infesting Aussie torch

Has anyone ever had flat worms infest a Aussie torch before or any other coral?

It is super fast so likely a polyclad, but it doesn't seem to be damaging to the coral.

I'm gonna go ahead and get prazipro and do a prazi dip for 3 weeks once a week

Hey man, curious what happened to this thread? I just found some in mine and ticked off my large frogspawn dipping to remove them.
