Sps pests

[phixman]

Can regular flatworms( the ones that go on softies ,not acro eating flatworms) live in a tank full of sps? If so, what do they eat ?

 

[saltyfilmfolks]

Some flatworms eat the mucus off of coral. Some eat bacteria and the stuff that grows on detritus.

Kinda species specific.

The regular old Red Planaria can live on film, diatoms and other really fine things. They do not seem to need much.

They are not harmful to SPS, but they can get obtrusive in large numbers.

jda is correct. I have some in my fuge not doing any harm down there, treated form them once but they did not all die and came back. They can live in any marine aqurium and need very little to thrive. Flatworm Exit is your friend when ridding a tank of flatworms, does not work on AEFW though.
