Received a bunch of Fungias through transship. Several pieces had these flatworms on them. Never more than two.

Heliofungia Fralinae from the same farm were all clean. Fungias infected seemed to be of various genera within the family.

Anyone else has had a run in with these?

Very unfortunate but interesting. I don't think I've seen this sort of thing with stony mushrooms before.

If possible (for science/future knowledge and reference), could you list which specific species of corals were infected and which were not?
