Sps Id

[7thheaven]

Hi all~

Do you know what it is?

Its color is not bad and starts to grow very fast.

And this was covered by my other SPS' so I moved it next to yellow one.

the color is not intense but will get better.

And this is A.tenuis? I am not for sure.

have no idea what the corals are, but are those flatworms???

Unfortunately Yes,

But it seems not AEFW. because my SPS are not bad.

Honestly I do not know how to remove them. I often siphoned them. but not easy work because of my SPS, the rock is hidden by SPS.

I do not want chemical remover FWExit because the side effect will be more harmful. so I am thinking of putting some yellow wrass.

Thanks..

Target Mandarin's, Yellow twin spot Corris and six line wrass have worked well for people I know on the planaria. Using a chemical (I know you said you didn't want to do) but Levasole a Pig/Goat dewormer works well on worms.

OMG those are simply beautiful!!! I'll follow along hoping to get a positive ID so I know what to look for on my next purchase!!!

As for the Flatworms, they're common Planaria. They aren't harmful until they reach such a high population that they cover your corals and block out light. The other problem with them is that they become toxic when they die. Sooo, if you treat with chemicals, which does work and is safe, make sure you get as many out beforehand and afterwards, syphon up all the dead bodies.

I'd suggest starting with a filter sock on your drain line, if you have one. Otherwise, use a filter sock on the end of a siphon hose, siphon out a lot of them and you can add the water back in. It's also been suggested that low flow can cause an outbreak of them.

Thanks returnofsid~

Last week, I syphoned them as possible as I can with hose and filter sock like you said. I think my status is not serious. so I will start to remove them with flatworm exit.

Thanks again.

I would say the first one is A. loripes and the second one either A.lorpies or A.lokani. Cant tell for sure on the first one if the radial corallites are immersed or not.

The third one, if it plates I would think it might be A.tenius
