Just recently moved tanks,


and some say, A If you have minimal AEFW you May have an outbreak of them.

Well. What is this?! I tried looking up Red Planaria. Maybe I'm Dreading it, Or I'm over thinking, But Please confirm, I believe it IS actually Red Planaria,

FWE should do the trick.

Dont mind the Coral, It was laying on the side, in the shadow and this is the only test frag i had to see if they would attach themselves to the coral and start munching.

I found them on the glass while I was inspecting the tank, only 2 has been spotted.




For better quality download the image and try zooming in on them! thank you!

The coral color and the brown patch on the dead skin looks like an AEFW infected acro with eggs, but the worms that came off are the wrong shape.
 
Planaria, you can tell by the forked tail. They generally prefer LPS and soft coral to hang out on. If you find them on your coral and/or your glass you have more than you think. Generally harmless unless they die off all at once which brings me to FWE. If you deploy FWE make sure you have some fresh carbon and a reactor on hand, they go toxic when die.
