I dipped this hammer in flatworms FX but nothing came out, my Lfs suggested a six line wrasse but it hasn't done anything to it. Any thoughts?

Gold wall hammer. My other hammers near it do not have visible signs of these.

Looks like these Pumpkin Flatworms or even a type of Planaria.

I have simulate spots on my Cotton Candy Torch, but only about 2 or 3. Coral doesn’t seem to mind. Will probably dip if I notice more starting to form.

thank you, I upped the dose of flatworm x and then did a dip in iodine+potassium, it seemed to have done the trick, waiting for it to recover.

So yes…including a 6 line, here is my method used about weekly to monthly. It wins the battle but never the war, unfortunately. I have removed hundreds in a half hour session that kept numbers low for months.
