Flatworms, right?

[shanepike]

Saw these critters for the first time when the Rod's Food brought everybody out of hiding yesterday. They look like little crawling boogers.

They're flatworms, right?

Yep, def flatworms. Get some airline tubing and start manually sucking them out or you can try flatworm exit.

 

[shanepike]

Yeah, just read that. And if I didn't have enough of a sense of urgency before, I saw some pictures of infestations that definitely ensured that was my first stop at lunch today. Thanks!

Def attack it as soon as possible and try to hit it everyday with the airline tubing as it will eventually become manageable. if you dont, it def can spread like wildfire...

Freshwater dip on corals/rocks that have them, will knock them off. I'd be careful in a small tank with Exit... and/or remove any fish before treatment.

I learned that one the hard way

depending upon your tanks other inhabitants, and if you have a fine sand bed, and a few other requirements, getting a wrasse might be in your future...just sayin'.

 

[shanepike]

Nah, I'm thinking I'm probably eliminated from wrasse consideration. It's technically an 11.4g tank, but only 8g of water fit in it and I already have two clowns. It's also not fine sand; it's the Fiji pink.
