I'm probably the wrong one to ask about chemical treatments, as I've never done them and it would have to be extreme for me to ever consider doing it. A lot of times you'll see me ducking out of conversations at the point when it turns to treatment options as my views are not a fan favorite, I'm afraid, so I kind of stopped fighting that fight. LOL!
I've always had flatworms here and there. Most would gather at the water line or a few just above the substrate on the glass. You can see in these pictures I was taking of isopods, there were a flatworm or two scurrying around.
Here you can see a couple of the Convolutriloba sp. towards the top I didn't treat and they didn't take over.
BUT!! You can't exactly sit back and watch their numbers grow. Usually they will just burn themselves out because everything waxes and wanes, but if you don't clean up or stop feeding the copepods, you could be looking at this (my picture, but NOT my tank).....
I think the only safe ones are the white/clear ones...
Do you dip your corals before you put them in there?
It might be a good time to start moving livestock over to the 40 if you are ready
So, if I leave them be, will the eventually kill corals? How can I reduce the population, considering it is a 14 Gallon tank?
How old is your tank? No, it won't kill your corals.

Those are bubble algae a nuisance algae. If you have some post a new thread you will get a better response.sorry, an old post, and my question is not related to the initial one but rather refers to this last photo — these hard green like-bubbles - what are those? A plant? Good or bad? I have few grown by my meat coral...
thanks for an answer.
If you can remove the coral from the tank, you can gently remove the bubble algae from the coral. Rinse the coral in some extra tank water in a bucket if you accidentally pop one.sorry, an old post, and my question is not related to the initial one but rather refers to this last photo — these hard green like-bubbles - what are those?
