And the rocks and bases that are around them. If you are talking about acro eating flatworms, they can swim a bit too and could be anywhere in your tank.

It's flatworm but not the very destructive strain. It's very mild.

Everything there a few threads that get into great detail about controlling them and killing them. good luck they are nasty and can live up to 15 days with no host sps.

i can't dip the live rocks

but will dip all the acros this weekend

This is why I still have my acros on removable rocks/plugs/tiles.
If they were on huge rocks, I would have to break them off.

Are you talking about the flatworms that are all over your rocks that are like a redish purple color or are you dealing with acro eating flatworms.

I'm talkin about

very small tiny---you can't see em on an acro coz they were totally transparent--

SEA SLUG things--very small but identical to a sea slug shape--1/5 inch?

found no EGGS and acros still have p.e. no rtn but spotted tissue loss like bites

dipped all the acro's already but no live rocks

good morning, does anyone out there have an idea of what this BS is. One day per reef is doing fantastic for next day I get this tan in color slime. I don't think it's Sino. I scraped a piece off put it under a microscope and this is what I saw. These little bugs and worms crawling all over the place. Can anyone identify this and tell me how do I get rid of it. thanks for your help
