I found flatworms covering my tyree aquituberculata. Can I assume they are montipora eating flatworms? I don't see much damage yet and they've been there for at least a week, looking back at photos. I'll dip and take them off, but is there anything else I should do? Luckily I don't have many montipora colonies, and my favorite 3 are easily removed. I do have a large orange setosa though. No sign of anything yet. Right now they seem to just really love the tyree. Is this as vicious a battle as aefw?

I do not believe they are directly feeding from the tissue but more soaking up the light.
FWE is a good option if dosed outside the recommended dosage

Oh yeah, definitely waminoa. I didn't realize the monti eating ones looked so different. It's not at plague level yet, so I'll start by just dipping the one coral and see if I can manage it that way. Thanks for the help!

Just to be clear, there is no monti eating flatworm :) Those are little light loving flatworms that can reach plague proportions in newer tanks or tanks without fish that eat them. AEFW is acro eating flatworms, MEN is montipora eating nudibranch.
