Tanks been up for a year never seen them till tonight and there’s hundreds. I bought a coral frag Thursday. Could they reproduce that fast? All these yellow dots??? There alive so I assume flat worms. Are these the bad type?
thanks.

Okay thank you!Red planaria flatworms. Pretty harmless they aren’t like the euphyllia flatworms that eat coral. But they multiply very fast and can cover a tank in a month or two if left unchecked. They can cover your coral and stop the coral from receiving enough light but that is only in extreme cases. There is stuff called flatworm exit, research it extensively before using.
If there is a lot in the tank try to vacuum some out before using the treatment. The treatment itself isn’t poisonous for inhabitants but the flatworms themselves release a toxin when they die and if there is a lot in the tank it can kill your livestock.Thanks guys! I just ordered some, basically treat the tank the do a big water change after an hour in
Try to suck as many out as possible before using fwe. A piece of airline works great. Fwe is reef safe but the toxins released by planaria not so much.Thanks guys! I just ordered some, basically treat the tank the do a big water change after an hour.
