I have what I think is a bug problem. The past few months I lost a couple of Milli's, two acro's, and now and seeing some more acro's dying from the bases up. The other day I noticed some very small black specs on the base of the very white dead coral skeleton, at first it looked like sand but the closer I looked it looked more and more like bugs. I thought to myself that this was impossible, I dip everything in either Bayer or CoralRx before it goes in the display tank. Long story short, I sucked some of the bugs off of the skeleton and observed the best I could at home, they looked like some sort of black bug. I logged on here and did a whole lot of google searching and decided that Sentinel was my best weapon again these things, fast forward to last night, I nuked the tank with Sentinel, I used a whole tab for about a 400g system. From what I can tell all 200+ hermit crabs, pods, etc.. died with a quickness, bugs didn't. So today I suck some more off of the rock and send my girlfriend (biologist) to her lab to observe under a microscope and send me the pics. This is what I've got, she says to her they look like some sort of Planarian, anyone have any ideas? Would Salifert Flatworm Exit be my next logical move?
