[scubagirl12]

My zoas have been closed for several days and look kind of swollen. I have red flatworms and their numbers have exploded recently as well. i have seen them on the zoas. i guess they are the problem?

Most flatworms are benign, and are nothing to worry about - it could just be coincidental.

Dip every rock in your tank and buy a sixline. If you decide to use flatworm exit be prepared to do a lot of water changing due to a toxin released by the dead flatworms. Its a lot less stressful on the tank to take everything out and dip individually.

And from my experience the flatworm exit will probably have to be used in several treatments, since for me just one only temporarily killed them.
