flatworm

Hello all! So I finally have experienced flatworms! I just spotted one a few minutes ago. I then sent him down the sink, and then immediately realized I should have taken a picture first haha. Looked online, and this is pretty much what he looked like. I looked through the tank and spotted a...

I’m having some really weird stn issues going in in my tank. It’s a 10 gallon and has been going good for a couple weeks i’ve been having some really bad tissue loss on some sps and some lps that i have no idea what it is or what to do to treat. 1.025 sg P04 0.00 (hanna phosphate ULR) NO3 8.0...

Been having an issue with LPS in my tank declining over 4-6 weeks and eventually dying, hammers, torches, brains, acans seems to be limited to LPS as mushrooms and zoas grow like wildfire as do leathers and my rose bubble is enormous. Had previously dipped some of the LPS with either lugols or...

I have tons of these flatworms in my sump, never in my main tank. However I never saw it on my coral both SPS and LPS. In the past 6 months I lost only few SPS and LPS. I don’t think it relate to their growth which is much more I am curious that should I let it be or try to get rit of them...

Noticed this scurrying around my glass recently. Are they flatworms and are they cause for concern? I have had a string of bad luck lateIy and I am currently treating the tank for Bryopsis and Dinos.

Shrimp- like thing. Very bendy like a worm. Has pincers and seems to have many more legs than usual shrimp. Amphipod included in the shots for size/anatomy comparison. Is starfish an asterina? Haven't put either in tank. Mainly worried about what seems to be flatworms.. most of them were on...

Hey, Recently gone on a break for a month and came back home to a frag tank infested with red planaria, anyone got experience dealing with them? I suspect they hitched a ride on a coral I added in right before the trip. I would really want to try to avoid using chemicals. I was personally...

I found this guy scooting along on my glass. I was certain it was a flatworm when it was on the glass. However, I became less certain when I pulled out and placed under a microscope. I haven’t see a flatworm without the “horns” and ruffles, and certainly not that pattern. Of course there are...

Hello. Like many others, I was looking around my tank walls in search for pods. I found many, along with these flatworms. The flatworms seem to mostly hang out in the front glass and i've seen a couple crawling around rocks. Will they eventually start crawling on my corals and messing with them...

Newbie here, seen it get larger over past few weeks there’s two growths on it, Thoughts???

I know these are flatworms but I’m not sure about the species. Any help on best action to kill/remove from tank would be greatly appreciated. I’ve lost a frogspawn and hammer and keep trying to save what’s left. So far I’ve dipped the coral with just “seachem reef dip”. It doesn’t seem to phase...

I found what I'm 99% sure is red Planeria on my soft coral. I'm experienced in the fish world but this is my first tank with Coral. I have some soft corals along with a bunch of fish. So how much do I need to worry about this? Is this something that may not cause any harm if left or do I need to...

Hi Everyone, So after some long painful searches, I can find little to no data regarding the dipping of clean up crew members, specifically Trochus snails. For those who have encountered an unwanted flatworm invasion, I think it is useful to understand that the shells of our CUC can harbor any...

There is no triangle head...

So, this is an ongoing process and what I have done so far. Purely Information for others. Maybe help for me. I started a new 240g roughly 300 total volume and easy math. This was January. I put some corals in March and dipped In fresh water since I saw flatworms on them. I’m pretty rash and it...

There is a dozen or so of what seems to be flatworms on my favia. There don't seem to bother the coral at all. In opposite, it looks very healthy. And considering the number of them, it is not a recent development. I am not sure where they came from. What should I do about them? Dip the coral...

I believe I have some flatworms on a frag and have done a freshwater dip to no avail. They didn’t fall off so I’m not sure exactly what I should do I did the dip about 3-4 days ago.

So I noticed my clam was closed up today and upon further inspection I see these little rust colored what I assume are flatworms on it. Are these cause for concern?

I am quite sure about its specie, but before killing it want to be totally sure :/ Could it be sea rabbit or a good hitchhiker ?

I’ve got a 37 gallon live rock and live sand only things in the tank as of now is a feather duster, astraea snails, nassarius snails, and a tuxedo urchin. I recently introduced a frag of zoa but I did dip it and inspected thoroughly before placing in tank. I noticed today a little critter...

Below is from a slightly older post but everything still applies plus I added a scarlet skunk cleaner shrimp. I have a 14 gallon cube currently with a pair of young percula clownfish (one is probably 2 inches or so and the other might be 1.5ish), as well as several hermit crabs and snails, with...

I've found one or two of these guys on my glass and while searching for an ID all I come across is the red planaria flatworm, but this one doesn't 100% fit the pictures of others so it makes me unsure. I'm sorry about the quality of the pictures, this was the best my phone could manage. It...

Hello all, Ive been absolutely BATTLING flat worm ever since the edition on my torch. I have flat worn exit and it says it doesn’t effect corals but they significantly look affected when the flatworm exit gets put in. I follow directions exactly but they keep on coming back. I do it every seven...

Found a few of these guys crawling around this morning amidst the prazipro induced chaos.
