Hey guys I was wondering if any one has had any issues with the AI sol and Lps I have a torch that died after doing well for a while and a hammer that just expelled it's polyps for what seems like no reason. I have 2 AI sols over a 75 gallon tank the whites run about 40% and blues about 85 90% phosphate is .08 nitrate is 0 my calcium and alk is high but I do weekly 5 gallon water changes with sea Chem reef salt the only thing Strang that I've Knowtessed is these Lil red guys (I'll try to post a pic)
They are about the size of a brine shrimp or smaller and a cross between a circle and a square red and during the day COVERING the rocks
If it's a flat worm is it dangerous? And how do I kill it?
Any help would be appreshated thank you =]

Those are commensal flatworms, they live near branching lps like hammer, frogspawm, candy canes, they wont harm coral, i had them for years, my wrasses kept them under control i guess, one day i decided to get rid of them, i used flatworm exit, but first i did flatworm exit outside the tank, meaning that i used a bucket with tank water and flatworm exit and removed my frogspawn, candy canes and hammers and dipped them in there, you wont believe the amount of flatworms i got off of the coral, when done i did a in tank dosage and got rid of them, they never came back, good luck
