I got a torch frag along with some zoas and a candy cane. Dipped them all in revive. Now about a week later I noticed a flatworm on the torch frag so I gave it a dip. Three flatworms came off. Now a few hours later I see another. How often can a coral be dipped? I only have revive on hand but can get something else tomorrow.

I also got 4 more frags today. A hammer, a chalice and a couple favias.

I also noticed a tiny, tiny snail on the front glass today. I took some video then killed it. I assume it's likely some kind of pest snail. Pictures and video coming.
 
Pictures will most definitely help. In the meantime, can you describe the flatworms and snail? Color, size, shape, etc...

Flatworm looked slightly purple but when they came off in the dip they were kind of clear/opaque. The snail had a little tail thing coming out the back and the front looked like it had antenna going out either side.

The snail was barely visible with the naked eye. That video was shot with a 28mm nikkor AI lens on a APS-C Sony a6300 with an extension tube. When I took it out it just looked like a black spec on my finger.
