Some kind of slug?

Brzilla · Jan 20, 2017

Hi all. These guys seem to be taking over my green star polyp frags. All my other corals are fine. Any ideas?

Thanks!

It moves? Never seen anything like it hope someone with more knowledge comes along

They move. On the glass at time as well.

Nudibranch it looks like. Hard to tell with pixz. Maybe flatworms.

Either way take them all out with a turkey baster and flush them

Do they look like they have shells on their back? If so they could possibly be stomatella snails, which are fine. If no shell, then I'm not sure. I might lean towards some kind of flatworm, which some of those are bad.

I tried blasting them but they stick like crazy and won't come off. I have a feeling they are breeding on the frags. There are new baby ones every day. ..

They don't have shells.

Could they just be flatworms?

justjimarri · Jan 20, 2017

Probably are if your see that many. Gentle take the turkey baster and shoot them with lot of light puffs, if you have to, use the turkey baster to agitate them . Do not touch with your hands, the can be very poisonous

Maybe. Need a better pic.

Either way can't be good.

The big frag gsp had them for a few weeks now and hasn't opened up since. Is it safe to say it's a goner? Should I just throw it away? That little piece of frag in the pix the critters just discovered and it's been a few days it hasn't opened.

Naw, don't assume it's done with yet. Can you grab it out and shake it off so we can perhaps see a little better what the critters are. They might not be the cause of the problem, but may be there because of a problem.
