Help! Funky Mushrooms

This brown slime has taken over my mushrooms in the last couple weeks. No other corals(brains or trumpet) have been infected yet. What do I do?

its hard to tell by the picture, but im thinking you might have flatworms.

flat worms

Yep, that's it - I finally found some online pictures of flatworms on mushroom corals that look identical to mine. Time to try some Salifert Flatworm Exit.
Thx

I now dip everything with flatworm eXit before it goes in the tank

What is the purpose of the six line?

 

[mr_miagi32]

To eat the flatworms.

Are flat worms common enough to have a six line wrasse for safety precautions?

six line wrasses are great fish to have one way or another, they swim so gracefully. Im looking for one and i dont even have flatworms... Speaking of which would a mandarin eat flatworms?

Have heard of mandarins eating them but mine starved to death with a tank full of flatworms. I can definatly say that flatworm exit is the way to go. Just make sure to remove any serpent stars before you treat. I learned that the hard way.
