Brown-ish discs on my candy cane?

[Secky]

I woke up today with these brown discs on one of my heads of candy cane. They appear to be moving and i just want to check what they could be and if they are pests. If so how would i go about removing them? Thanks

(sorry for the dark image, lights just turned on)

Those are flatworms. Removing them is a good idea. Dipping or flatworm predators should do the trick. There are fish and nudibranchs that enjoy eating them.

Ah, appreciate the comment mate. Will check and dip my corals. What dip would you recommend for the most effective removal?

Red Sea dip is very effective.

In a pinch, just RO water worked for me. A fat one wriggled off my torch

Alright thanks guys! I dipped a few of my frags and noticed them coming out! Especially my hammer!
