Purple splotch?

[muggle0981]

No idea what this is but it is something

Looks like a little purple circle, almost like looking at bottom of my turbo snails…

it’s not algae, it’s some type of organism

see on my corals occasionally doesn’t seem to bother them

Any ideas??

Maybe a little flatworm?

Good
Try and grab and take out of tank

Wrasse and mandarins eat them.

It's hard to see clearly what kind they are exactly but the don't look like EEFW(euphyllia eating flat worm)which is a good sign.

They look more like planaria. Which will eat dying or dead flesh but don't seem to do the damage the others do.

I would go the natural route with fish before anything chemical.

Melenarus wrasse eat red planaria. 100% success rate with several different specimens over the years.

Have a timor wrasse

Eventually planned on adding one more wrasse

Net or pull with a turkey baster and discard as it looks like a polyclad flatworm
