So I took my galaxea coral out to get some bubble algae off of it. I flipped it over to give it a look over and saw some usual critters, but then I poked something squishy and realized the brown splotches were flatworms. I found 4 on the galaxea, 1/2" long was the longest one. I have the tools I was using now sitting in rubbing alcohol to start the process of cleaning them.
What should I do? I tried using flatworm exit a few months ago due to the little white stupid flatworms I have and that wasn't very effective and the tank suffered from this (but I had no major deaths). Pretty upset about this turn of events. The corals I have are; ricordeas, acans, fungias/plates, galaxea, frogspawn, hammer, candycanes/trumpets, mushroom, colt, flowerpot, duncans. From my quick bits of research they look like the AEFW ones. I do not plan on having any SPS in this tank, I run a very dirty tank. All corals currently can be removed to be dipped. I made the stupid error of not dipping all of my corals. Only my last few additions were dipped.
Please help.
