Look at it go!! Looks great.

I may or may not have just ordered myself a toothy begonia and an iridescent begonia (or multiple varieties of each) on account of my absolute frustration with the neurologist today

Argh...

You know, if these flatworms like to eat coral.... you might have a lot of issues coming and maybe the reason for other issues you've had.
I am thinking its not the same.... I didnt have acros for awhile. and they seem to just be on the zoas... not in high numbers.

and i just dipped the rock. fingers crossed.

I've enjoyed having my h. Chrysus, my flatworms are no longer visible. I guess its a hit and miss.

If you can beat dinos.. you can beat flatworms. Like @Goaway said, you need to identify what you are dealing with first. Eliminating this step will increase the arduousness of your task.

arduousness-word of the day toilet paper.

my scraper works so well its been over a month since I have cleaned my glass and I can still see pretty well into the tank. :grinning-face-with-sweat:.

use a turkey baster and just suck them off the zoas when you see them.


.... I always find myself looking for the gif of Spaceballs when Megamaid goes from suck to blow but can never find it...
...this is at least the 17th time I've searched...
