I was trying to see if anyone knows what these are? I wanted to see if they were flatworms and if so are they harmful to my corals? Hard to see I just noticed them today

I'm no expert but they do sort of look like Euphyllia eating flatworms. They have a white base and a darker color top. Did you dip your corals before going into the tank?

Yea I always make sure to deep my corals. I guess I didn’t do a good job on the last one. Got a new hammer 2-3 months ago didn’t see any then or just didn’t look/notice hard enough unfortunately. I only see them on my octospawn for now but manage to remove a few I saw on the glass and on some coral plugs.

Just give it a shake in some fresh ro and they should fall right off. Make sure the ro is close to the same temp.

Thanks I’ll give that a try I’ve never had to deal with flatworms before

You need to repeat washing all your euphyllia in RO water two days later, and than every two weeks for a 2-3 months
 

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?
