I started a metroplex, focus, kanaplex regimen to treat for an unknown parasite or infection in my clowns. They have been exhibiting behavior that would make me think flukes, however, I did several fw dips and nothing came off. Even magnified, I saw nothing.
So before nuking my invert (mainly pods) population with prazi, I wanted to give this metro tro a try first.
8 hours after the first dose (I am mixing it with freeze dried mysis, not dosing the water), this little wormy creature showed up, which my fish tried to eat, but immediately spit out. 3 of my clowns had a taste and spit it out.
So I guess it stings? Maybe? This thing was swimming freely and darting around the top of the water. It moves like a ribbon. I can't see any eyes or legs or anything at all on it. Just a white ribbon looking worm. Flatworm maybe?
A little additional info
I'm battling several species of hydroids in at least 2 or their 3 stage life cycle. I am pretty sure they are irritating my fish, as when I knock them off the glass during cleaning, my fish spaz out like something is on them.
My water prams are normal for my tank. Nothing has changed. And I am pressed for time and want this posted asap. If my water prams are of any importance to this, or if knowing my water prams will help get an id, I'll give you guys everything you need this afternoon. I hope I can post a video! Pics are no good.
I can't post the video! Ugh. Is there some way to get the short clip to someone who can help me? It's like 10 seconds of a video.
