My Tank Has Worms

[jwess]

Got a Green Kenya Tree frag from a fellow reefer this last week. Frag looks great but I have noticed what I believe are flat worms on the rock it came with. How the heck can i get rid of these things before it becomes and epidemic. For now Im just trying to suck them out with my baster, but what if I cant get them all. So far I havnt noticed them on any other rocks other than the new one they arrived on.

Quarantine Tank? Flat Worm Exit, FWE. you should be able to pick FWE at most fish stores with saltwater set-ups. It can be used on the main display tank with some cautions.

I just got rid of my flat worms a cpl weeks ago...i had them baaad! It took a few doses of FWE to get rid of them all but ti does work. I dosed it a cpl times and always had a few stragglers, finally i decided to use 3x the recommended doasage and now they are all gone. If you do use it be ready to run ALOT of fresh carbon and be ready to do a water change if need be. Apparently the dead worms are very toxic and can do some damage.

Good Luck.
