What is this on this torch?

[Corey Shelk]

There are some flat worm looking things on this torch is that why it’s not fully out?

^ what they said

eek! Looks like Euphyllia eating flatworm! Often called EEFW Can do a search for those..

 

[ChiCity]

yikes, that’s a polyclad!

 

[Corey Shelk]

Oh no, why do I dip it in?

 

[saltybees]

CoralRX is a good one, there’s a few options. Any local fish stores will have some sort of frag dip, it’s recommended to always dip corals prior to adding to your tank or else you’ll end up with pests such as the ones you have on the torch.

freshwater dip should kill flatworms.

Thank you everyone, I tried a freshwater dip for a few minutes and they all fell off! It’s a friends tank so I just noticed them but I let them know to keep an eye out. Hopefully it was the only euphyllia affected

Suggest that your friend get a wrasse like a yellow coris, etc. (not a fairy or flasher). Your friend will never see a flatworm again.

Coral RX has been the best for us. Dip it and scrub the skeleton with a toothbrush to remove eggs as dip won't kill them

Yep the freshwater dip worked and she has a yellow wrasse and adorned wrasse so that’s why I was surprised to see them on there. Thank you all for your help!
