Hi, this is my first post at this forum but i´m in this hobby for some years now, i purchase a new coral a white sarcophyton and today when i was dealing whit an aptasia in this base mi coral closed and i see this rounding around some one could help me identifying this aliens? :) They are brownish and flat...
Sory for the bad quality off this video but it was taken whit mi cell phone...
Thanks

 
Google flatworms?
 
thks, you are right, btw should i buy a pyjama wrasse or other fish to deal whit it or let them be... the coral seems fine for the moment.
 
If you can remove the coral with ease a quick freshwater dip should help. The osmotic shock should have the flatworms falling off in a matter of seconds. As far as the flatworms around the tank goes, before you add a fish to combat these you might want to get some airline tubing and siphon out what you can first. You just might beat'em this way. GL.
 
thks for all the help, i already gave a fresh ro water dip, and i was surprised whit the quantity of them that fell off, i think that this was just a problem in this new added coral, the rest i will pay close attention to see if they pass tho another coral

thks
