I've been battling what I thought is Cyano for over a year. Did various treaments, like ChemiClean (Many months ago...Once) , then I stopped using Amino's which would fuel this red Cyano like growth. I even added more pumps for flow to eliminate dead spots. OLD PHOTO FROM a few months ago...

Hi. I noticed a few of these guys crawling around my tank after a diatom bloom. 2 days later they were everywhere. They don't seem to bother the coral, but I have seen them crawling on my Hammer. They don't bother me much I just would like to know if they are the bad kind. I ordered some...

So I am in the middle of a battle with Red Planaria which has been going on for several months now. I've tried manual removal (keeps the population down, but it comes back), Flatworm eXit (corals do not like this), 12 Line Wrasse, and a Blue Velvet Nudibranch. Some of these have shown promise...
