My hammers and torches are slowly disappearing. I bought Seachem Reef dip per recommendation of my LFS. Removed this once enormous, flourishing hammer and dipped at 10ml per ~ 5 litres (just over a gallon) of tank water for 30 minutes per instructions. It had no odour from brown jelly and no small flatworms fell off. I rinsed and returned to the DT. It slimed some then extended this morning but retracted when I fed the fish. Then I saw this long, flat worm come out from between the polyps. I could swear I saw one like it a few months ago when it went straight into a bivalve that was on some LR. That bivalve died. Its innards were dessimated - eaten up except for the tendons that open and close the shell. My other green hammer is also melting away, as are all my torch. These were enormous 6 months ago. Are these long (I'm talking many inches here) flat worms to blame?
Note that all my Zoas and Palythoas are perfectly healthy and reproducing. My Morphs also fine.
Here's a photo of this horrid thing. Sorry I forgot to circle the last photo of the worm. It's quite long (maybe 3") and flat.
