Euphyllia Eating Flatworms (EEFW) are the most destructive pests I've encountered on Torch Corals.

After working with thousands of Euphyllia at Lucky Corals, I've found that identifying these pests early is one of the most important steps in preventing an infestation.

I put together this video using original macro footage showing adult flatworms, egg clusters, and what to look for when inspecting Torch Corals.

One important point: Coral dips may remove adult flatworms, but they don't reliably kill the eggs. Careful inspection and follow-up treatment are essential.

Watch the video:


Have you encountered Euphyllia Eating Flatworms on torch corals or corals other than Torches?
