Flatworm?

[tonymission]

Noticed my forest fire digi has some tissue missing in random spots all of a sudden. No other corals looking bad at all

acro eating flatworms wont touch a digi,only acros.regular planaria wont bite the flesh of them either.

I'm also dealing with what I'm pretty sure are flatworms. They don't seem to be bothering anything but are multiplying exponentially

 

[tonymission]

Thanks RM-- all the acros look good. Seems weird. Strong PE on the piece elsewhere.

do you have emerald crabs? They will bother montis and digis.

I have seen them crush areas. for fun I guess.

 

[reeferman]

+1^ to Joseph.i had one that would crush setosa and eat the pieces

 

[tonymission]

I thought I got them all out but maybe there's a soldier in there. What about hermits?

 

[ff337]

If food had fallen on it, the hermits may of cleaned house.

monti eating nudibranch maybe?

Hmm sounds right. Dips or a Coris wrasse?

Several dips as the dip will not kill the eggs.

IMHO,that doesnt look like monti eating nudi damage.they usually leave a bare white spot where they have been feeding.almost as if you took and scraped the skeleton bare.

Isn't that what it looks like on the forest fire digi?
I took it out anyway.. Maybe too late but I try not to take those chances. I've since been Bayer dipping all new frags

 

[reeferman]

in the pic,it just looks like the polyps are retracted in that area.i might not be seeing it correctly though.the nudis leave a spot that clearly looks eaten like you wouldnt even see polyp holes anymore.maybe thats what it looks like,i dunno

 

[tonymission]

Oh, you wouldn't even see the polyp holes? Hmm

 

[reeferman]

normally.but....ive only witnessed nudis on caps and encrusting montis so i really couldnt say what they would do on a digi.on the aforementioned,you dont even see where polyps used to be.

[reeferman]

yes,just like that but ive always seen them go from the outside in.never the other way around[not saying they couldnt]

 

[jdavid]

More importantly, you'd probably be able to find an actual nudibranch if that was the case

 

[tonymission]

Well that's my sunset monti I just posted and that bare spot is somewhat new. So i guess I have something going on there... Maybe I need a Coris wrasse
