maze brain coral help?

[AJDuran]

I recently bought a maze brain coral from my LFS after a day in my tank it got these little reddish pink spots on it i didn't think anything of it until i saw them move. Anybody know what these are and are they bad? what should i do?any help would be great thanks

Any chance of a pic... Sounds like it could be flatworms.....

thanks i'm pretty sure they are flatworms i looked at some flatworm pictures and the ones i got look the same thanks for the help gonna pick up a wrasse some time this week

flatworm exit works well for removal. If the tank is heavily infected it may take two applications.

I'll try that if the wrasse doesn't take care of it i.ve only seen a few worms so it doesn't seem to be that bad i think they came in with that coral thanks for the help.

Be careful with flat worm exit. Those red flatworms or planaria release toxins when they die. People have caused their tank to crash when using flatworm exit if they have a lot of those planaria.
