Hey all,
So I recently bought a coral from my LFS that was literally covered in flatworms. I didn't realize until I was home and preparing the dip. I pulled off all of the eggs and dipped it twice. Fast forward to today: I decided to check the other coral that I bought from that same LFS the previous week and low and behold there were flatworms eggs on it! Yuck.
I want to get ahead of this before the flatworms get to toxic levels (upon treatment). Is it OK to treat with flatworm eXit now?
TL;DR:
If I found flatworm eggs on one of my coral, can I preemptively treat with Flatworm eXit before I've actually seen flatworms?
Updated to add: Just dipped that coral and a flatworm came off, so I assume it is okay to start treatment of the tank.
