flipped on the light late at night & found these on the lower portion of the glass.
Can anyone I'd the exact type this is? They dont look like red panaria.

Did not see any on coral. New tank there are onle a few zoas & a test sps.

"Soo frustrated! New tank, dry rock and dry sand. Set up 2 quarantine tanks, fish corals & inverts & they still got in "

Thanks all

But bummed they already made it in the tank

Ive experience them before and they will cover ur corals until the coral dies. If u can get a sixline wrasse or yellow coris wrasse, i've heard they are a good predator for flatworms.

There are quite a few different types of flatworms, I have something similar that has never bothered coral and mostly cruises the glass. I had them for over a year and they almost completely disappeared until I moved my tank. Now they are back, still not an issue for me

Acoel flatwork and more fo a nuisance than harmful. Siphon as many as you can and add either: Melanurus or lunare wrasse, target mandarin goby , blue velvet nudibranch or last: Flatworm stop

Thanks guys. I have a mystery wrasse who does not seem to like other wrasse. I'll try a mondrian goby or the nudi looks cool.

If I do go flatworm x should I be concerned about my waspfish?
