What kind of flatworms are these?

[misspurl]

My wife just asked "what are those slimy things on the meat coral? I think they are moving." We picked off a couple dozen and then did a Bayer dip. Can anyone ID what type these are? @Lionfish Lair ?

Look like red planaria flatworms.

Agreed planaria

You could try Salifert flatworm exit if your entire tank is infected.

You could try Salifert flatworm exit if your entire tank is infected.

Research this before you pull the trigger. While manys success cases, there are a more than a few everything in the tank died threads.

Basically, if you have a huge number, doing a 25% water change 15 minutes after meds may not be sufficient to protect your fish.

Idk they look more polyclad to me ....I would dip the remainder of your LPS and continue dipping periodically on top of manual removal...I don' personally care for flatware exit...
