Are flatworms really that bad? They look ugly but don’t seem to be effecting anything. I have those yellow rasses and those blue damsels. Those guys don’t eat the flatworms. When I feed I’ll dip rocks in RO and take a couple dead flatworms and drop them in with the food to get them accustomed to...

I've been battling what I thought is Cyano for over a year. Did various treaments, like ChemiClean (Many months ago...Once) , then I stopped using Amino's which would fuel this red Cyano like growth. I even added more pumps for flow to eliminate dead spots. OLD PHOTO FROM a few months ago...

Hi all! I am running a 20g Red Sea Max Nano and have 7 coral, 2 fish and 2 sh. Today when feeding I noticed a flatworm on my hammer coral. I have only seen a total of 1 - but I’m sure there are more. Tank params: Age: 4 months Ph: 8 Alk: 9.7 Nitrate: 16ppm (doing another water change this...

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...

Hi. I noticed a few of these guys crawling around my tank after a diatom bloom. 2 days later they were everywhere. They don't seem to bother the coral, but I have seen them crawling on my Hammer. They don't bother me much I just would like to know if they are the bad kind. I ordered some...

I got some euphyllia frags today. These were crawling around inside one of the bags. Are they euphyllia eating flatworms?

Hello everyone! This is my first time on a reefing forum. I made an account because I can’t find any information regarding what’s going on in my tank. 32 gallon LED Biocube All levels are completely fine and the tank is doing great other then the literal 2 - 300 slugs that seemed to develop...

So I am in the middle of a battle with Red Planaria which has been going on for several months now. I've tried manual removal (keeps the population down, but it comes back), Flatworm eXit (corals do not like this), 12 Line Wrasse, and a Blue Velvet Nudibranch. Some of these have shown promise...
