Will EEFWs die off in a tank without any euphyllia?
I removed a torch from my display tank (DT) and found a large EEFW (Euphyllia-Eating Flatworm) on its base. I took the worm off, scraped away all the eggs, dipped the coral, and placed it in my frag tank—which currently has no euphyllia. My plan is to dip it again in 7–10 days before returning it to the DT.
Also, since I found a large worm in my DT, I assume there are more. However, all my other euphyllia look perfectly healthy.
For those with EEFW experience:

For those with EEFW experience:
- Do these flatworms die off without euphyllia present?
- Could my dusky wrasse (which constantly picks at corals) be eating the smaller worms and keeping them in check ?
