Euphyllia eating flatworm id

[Alex.qld]

Hi
I have read the discussions here on the forum and it seems that there are a few types of flatworms with some that are susceptible to flatworm rx and others not

Could you please id and suggest most recommended treatment for these little buggers that are eating my torches and hammers

Thanks

Put it in some lugols iodine and see how it reacts. If it is noticeably unhappy, an iodine based dip would probably do the job. I found bristleworms do not enjoy iodine at all.

With a few dip sessions is fairly easy to rid your system off these EEFW. Even without bothering to scrape eggs off as it takes a while before they can produce eggs. I wouldnt dose any medication in the reef tank unless no other options available.

Thanks. Will go for the dips then and see what happens

Try Wormageddon dip for flatworms, new product but works like a charm.

Should be able to google it

Quick update- i removed the worms twice manually from 2 different euphylia. Il pulled all the euphylia i have every time- they had not spread to others and it looks like they have been eradicated. No chemicals - other than the revive dip

If you missed any smaller ones, which is highly likely and more likely eggs were laid somewhere as it's hard to see with the naked eye and to search everywhere and that dip doesn't affect flatworms.

The new Wormageddon dip worked on multiple friends tanks including my own with both acros and euphylia.


Good luck!
