Hey guys,
So I bought a few coral from a local LFS that has a flatworm problem. Knowing this, I dipped the corals before hand and upon looking at them, they don’t appear to be the standard “red planaria” but perhaps still in the planaria species? Thoughts?
These are a dark brown to light gray with a red spot on the tail. Doesn’t look like AEFW or Euphyllia EFW. The coral are in quarantine right now but thoughts?
These were on SPS frags (birdsnest, enchinata, Setosa, and an unidentified maricultured. Acro (possibly tenius). I did not see them on the corals, just the plugs. Coral tank had anything from Xenia to zoas, shrooms, Euphyllia and other SPS and the flatworms were on all of them (making me think mostly harmless (nothing my redline wrasse wouldn’t be able to take care of if worse came to it). Best pics I could get. No microscope
