Pest population explosion

[i_declare_bankruptcy]

Could these be flatworms? Seriously concerned about their numbers... they are all over my rocks. I never noticed them yesterday, they really must have exploded in numbers. My BTA is very angry now, no tentacles at all. Are there pests that attack anemones? I don’t see them ON the anemone but all around it.

Could it be red planaria ?:(

YES. Those aren't the ones that eat things, but they'll multiply like nuts and smother. Plus I believe toxins if all killed off fast.

Most probably won't believe it, but I had these bad around a dozen years ago in a 92g. I wouldn't suggest it, but I just left them alone and they eventually just fizzled out. I don't know if it was due to so many generations or what, but I never treated the tank and after a couple of months there weren't any.

However, I'd go with whatever treatment others here have successfully used that worked quickly.

Are there wrasses that will eat them?

Get a wrasse, yellow coris or melanarus would do the job, or both. ;)
