I didn't see them on anything but the glass. I'm not really concerned about them. Just haven't seen them before. They are kinda cool.

Yeah being that they are on the glass they are most likely the harmless ones, but as rgr says- flatworm exit is awesome!! And "it" is totally safe for corals, however follow the instructions. And siphon out as many as you can before using it if you do decide to go that route.

Time to get a flatworm eating nudibranch! Gratz!

estanoche · I <3 the LEFT COAST!

red planaria flatworms BTW

I've got them too - had them for over a year.... the population ebbs and flows depending on how much I overfeed - haha...

I'm paranoid about killing my tangs, which is why I haven't flatworm exited them yet - but someday I'll get brave!! Ive read many many horror stories, and, when I first got these I dosed my entire tank for them (they had been in my tank for 24 hours) and it didn't kill them all.. grr, and the kole tang I had in there died... granted, I only had the fish for about a week - but still, he died nonetheless

and ive read many other reports of tangs dieing from assumed oxygen deprivation after dosing FWE.

So, like all over the counter treatments - "With caution"

oh I'm not going to treat. I'm going to leave them be. They don't hurt anything that I know of. I did clean the glass at lunch so I'm sure they got spread all over the tank.

I have a few red flatworms in my 2 gallon. They hitched a ride in on the torch coral. When I see one, I get it out with an algae scraper pad. They don't seem to be multiplying like mad, so I'm really not concerned. I hear a lot of people who just leave them be and haven't had any issues.
