Predator question

[deep6er]

Im kinda new to sps and and in doing some reading on this forum i noticed a bug called flatworm. I looked at the picture and said oh s#@t i have that . They are all over my tank walls and who knows how many are on the corals. I have only had this tank for a month and it is fully stocked with frags of all sorts(100pc)

What is the best way to rid my system of this bug
here is a picture
Thanks

Depends on what kind of flatworm. If it's Planaria, you can use Flatworm Exit. If it's Acro Eating Flatworms, people are experimenting but there is no definitive in tank cure yet....

FWE will take care of those . Those aren't AEFW's

Oops I didn't realize there was a picture, for some reason my browser isn't displaying posted pictures from RC. There must be some sort of problem with it here at work since my home browser displays the images fine.

If it is planaria, definitely FWE all the way

How can you tell.

My sps look fine, I dont see any sings of them dying yet. I see these bugs on the tank walls , cant really see any on the acros itself

Because I have first hand experience with both types and those are the large brownish red ones that like to smoother corals .

Also if you red that post you quoted I said flatworm exit will take car of those they are not acro eating flatworms

so they like smother corals, like what kind?

are they still really bad for my tank

I would get rid of them and they like to smother sofites like leathers and mushrooms.
