In that case, let me tell you my experience with flatworms. In May I found them in my euphyllia (2 torches, 1 frogspawn) and my Japanese toadstool.

I dip before I quarantine, but didn’t know what I was looking at. After the quarantine period I dipped and added them to my display, once again not knowing what to look for exactly. Eggs hatched much further down the road and now I dip the torches weekly until I decide what to do as a more manageable solution.

Wow.... very interesting. Do you presume they were introduced on the frag from the store / seller?

Right after reading this an article was posted. Looks like you're taking the correct steps to try and get rid of those suckers

Whats that flatworm? (2/3)

Flatworms are a confusing group to research, mainly because there is not much information on the types and taxonomy and we have a habit of referring to the same worm with fifty different names. There are probably a few mistakes in this article...

Probably, but just another lesson in reefing

Kalkwasser is going well! Alkalinity sits at 8.5dkh and there’s a noticeable improvement in color and growth of corals. Water changes have gone from 4 gal weekly to 2 gal every 10 days.

Tank took 47 days to complete the Dr Tim's fishless cycle. Today I added the 1st fish, meet "Comanche" my Banggai Cardinal.

47 days! My gosh. What happened?

That’s crazy!

Staring at my tank last week I noticed the level in the tank was way off. The counter started to sag so I hit Facebook marketplace and got a new stand. At 38 inches high I’m happy about it.
Took a few friends to help, drained it down to a few inches and reused all the existing water, did a 30% water change and 3 days later all is well.
