Red planaria

[Nickolas]

Bought some corals that had red flatworms, dipped, removed them and placed onto new plugs and put them in QT tank,
Was just wondering if anyone has experience with how long should I wait to be safe and make sure no eggs, etc is transferred into the display tank

There can be presence of eggs as well as a few strays . After about 4 days of dipping, dip again.
Other methods are addition of wrasse such as 6 line, yellow coris or lunare which will eat them. As a last resort, salifert flatworm exit. If you use flatworm exit, siphon daily to remove dead ones which can release toxins

Thank you for your answer ! So i kinda go hard on dipping, I use revive for 15 mins, rinse, then place them in a new container with flatworm exit for 30-45 mins. I got these corals over a week ago and havent seen anything in the QT tank, is it still possible some eggs survived?
