The day that I dreaded most has come to life. I've dipped every single frag with coralrx that I ever gotten so how could this be??
My Steve Elias stag has been going downhill for the last 2 weeks and at first I thought it was just my water quality. The piece started to stn from the base up so I immediately concluded that it was an all swing problem. Little did I know these little devils have been munching away at it. When I got home last night I saw little tiny eggs at the base that died off. I crossed my fingers and hoped that it wasn't true so I dipped and found about 8 flatworms falling off...cry cry. So I immediately cut off the base and reattached on a new frag plug.
I have about 13 frags so I took all of them out and dipped but seemingly, none of my other SPS were affected. Can this be right? Even my Millie's didn't have any on them. Could I have been lucky to have caught this early on and they haven't found my other frags? When they are in free floating form do they immediately attach to other sps or do they exist in the rocks too? They have had a chance to lay eggs so does this mean that it's bad news for me? This piece did not have not have any aefw when I dipped it when I first got it.
Please advise me on what I should do to eradicate this from my tank. I am so bummed beyond belief that this has happened as I practiced due diligence on newly acquired pieces(except quarantine). Please help! Thanks all
