Lol. Both of those give me nightmares!Lol you mean bobbit worms named after lorraina bobbitt. I had an interesting lesson about that as well; it was a little creepy.

Going foward I'll make that same assumption. I also won't half a** my dipping procedure.
I do have a male yellow fin flasher (Paracheilinus flavianalis).
Do you think flatworm exit would be worth giving a shot?
Only thing I'd add is remove the plug it came on as well.I never go easy on my dipping, or inspection under a magnifying glass and I still ended up with them. You're gonna get something one day, it's almost unavoidable.
Flatworm exit doesn't work on AEFW. The only way to prevent it is to QT all your corals, or remove all your corals from rockwork and dip weekly.
There was a study I read where certain aefw are able to burrow into skeleton of an acro, and live there almost a full year, making it impervious to dipping. This could be why on very rare occasion people who hadn’t added anything to their tank for years suddenly end up with them.I never go easy on my dipping, or inspection under a magnifying glass and I still ended up with them.

I have been trying to find the study again to link but can’t find it yet.
From what I recall no. It’s baby aefw which are only about 1mm in size? Driving me crazy I can’t find it. It was sometime after they officially documented seeing aefw in the wild. It was from some marine biologist within the last year maybe?Wow. I'm assuming no leave of dipping or quarantine would prevent these kinds of AEFW from entering the system. Wonder if the burrows can be seen?
