I had a BAD flatworm outbreak about a year ago.... Flatworm exit works WONDERFULLY. I would pull and dip all of your coral first, and syphon off as many of the little bastages as you can, but FEW will kill anything that remains in minutes(literally) are these little guys?

Red planaria... they don't really hurt anything, but they can grow to suck plague numbers that they can sufocate coral and block light.

Another thumbs up for FWE. I had to use it on my nano thanks to some hitch-hiking flatworms. If you go the chemical route, make very certain that you suck as many of the (censored) as you can because when they die they apparently give off a toxin that isn't good for your tank. Do a water change after the treatment and suck up as many carcasses as you can and run some carbon. At least that's what I did and I had no problems. The only casualties were the FWs. (clap)

Are flatworms the cause of "black spot" disease known in tangs? I had QT my tang for several weeks and just put him back into the reef, now i am seeing small signs of this disease comming back. It was fully gone before putting him in but now its comming back. What is the best way to treat my reef for these worms? I try not to add many chems if i dont have to, but how about that chem you all were talking about earlier? Do you think this could cure my reef? Thanks
