If you look closely you can see two eyes on one end. I have seen a lot of bristle worms. This one had no thorns and was flat. I’m just wondering what else do I do if I see this on a new frag?Hard to say but looks more like a bristleworm.
Picture is a bit blurry but flatworms are only about 1-2mm wide and 4 mm long.
Hmm if you look closely I see two eyes on one end. It was flat too not round like a bristle. It’s too late I dipped and put it in my tank. I’m just wondering if I’m sure it’s a flatworm do I do anything else? I read the dip doesn’t kill eggs.Look like bristle worms.

I dipped it in corral rx. I read it doesn’t kill the eggs if there is any.Dip the coral in an iodine base reef dip or coral cleanser.
Think I use Kent brand.

There are literally thousands of types of bristle worms.If you look closely you can see two eyes on one end. I have seen a lot of bristle worms. This one had no thorns and was flat. I’m just wondering what else do I do if I see this on a new frag?

That makes me feel a little better hahaMay be some other parasite
It was on a wall hammer.What kind of coral was it?
Without a better pic it is hard to I'd 100% but there are really big euphyllia eating flat worms aka EEFW.It was on a wall hammer.
I didn’t see any eggs on it. But it makes me wonder if there was any. Just redip in a few days ?Looks like some type of flat worm. I don’t see any bristles and doesn’t look to me like a bristle worm. If there were eggs on the coral.. that sucks.
It does kind of look like these. Do I just redip in a few days incase of eggs ? Was I dumb to put this in my tank if I saw this in the bag?It looks like a planaria species. They split into two at the head.
Another dip is a good idea. The little beast will try and return to the coral if it's not eaten first. It's best to throw away critters from the dip unless positive that it's beneficial.It does kind of look like these. Do I just redip in a few days incase of eggs ?
