ok ive had diatoms before and have cyano on the filter before these things look the most like flat worms but they have almost stoped multiplying and its been 4 days and havent seen one on any of the corals im gonna read up on them and see what i need to do any ideas thanks alot everyone

 

[joetaylor569]

they are red planaria from the best i can tell what should i do about them

I would suggest a Sixline Wrasse. If that fails, Salifert Exit does wonders on these but be prepared with a lot of carbon and a big water change.
