No I know I won't eradicate in that way, but if there are flatworms on it. They can't scatter away they'll be stuck in my hand. I think I'm just going to take it out. The frag that I gave to a friend is doing really well and it's almost doubled in size so he'll be happy to give me a frag of it in the future. Should I do it now or wait a few hours?
There's nothing on my coral, nothing on the Rocks around it, nothing of nothing of nothing. So I just decided to frag off the tips where the polyps are falling off and if the coral doesn't make it then it's whatever. I can always get an endless amount for free lol
It takes a couple of nights, I recommend doing checks nightly for a week or so just to make sure. You won’t always find these animals straight away.
I really don't think I have them. My tank has 4 corals total and they all came from a trusted source and QT'd. But I'll keep looking.
My corals all came from a trusted source and got dipped Atleast 3 times but I still managed to get flatworms unfortunately. Luckily there are fish and other inverts that we can use to get rid of the unwanted ones
Boooooooooo. I'm concerned about possible ich and now I need to worry about this lol.My corals all came from a trusted source and got dipped Atleast 3 times but I still managed to get flatworms unfortunately. Luckily there are fish and other inverts that we can use to get rid of the unwanted ones
Honestly, I personally believe anyone who says they have an Ich fee tank is lying. Fish parasites can lay dormant however they don’t attack a healthy fish. You may not see it however I bet it’ll be in there - I personally get healthy fish and have never QTed and don’t have an issue with diseases however I had a lot more issues with diseases when it came to QTed fish.
My QT process, I put them in a sizable tank for 2 months and just observe. I try not to proactively medicate because I know how stressful it could be. The quarantining isn't completely and only for parasites, it helps the fish get east of my routine and how I am. I'm a pretty loud person and I have kids running around the house so it gets them used to me and my lifestyle without having to worry about fish bullying them. And then it comes with the added benefit of being able to observe them obviously.

Since bumping the lights does it appear to be getting better?
So far no. It did amazing until I took it off the frag rack. Once I glued it, it went very unhappy
