Eye health good for Coral Health
So I just came back from getting my new glasses and lets just say a whole new world of exciting things opened up.
I bought a tank shutdown from a customer of mine a few months back and with it came a very weird hammer coral. This hammer coral had weird purple spots that resembled coraline algae, that is what the seller even told me it was. Now that I am armed with my new glasses, my frag tank was now in HD. And my mystery purple coraline spots turned out to be a massive flatworm infestation. Having spread from the initial hammer coral to the adjoining mushrooms. So armed with a fresh water dip it appears I'm hopefully on the way to taming this newly "eye opening" pest.  ![](http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/<a href="<a href=https://www.flickr.com/photos/theokie/14770110295" target=_blank>https://www.flickr.com/photos/theokie/14770110295"</a> title="Flatworm infestation by Eric Leahy, on Flickr"><img src="<a href=https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3919/14770110295_bb5a309a72_b.jpg" target=_blank>https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3919/14770110295_bb5a309a72_b.jpg"</a> width="768" height="1024" alt="Flatworm infestation"></a>)

Does a FW dip actually work for these when they are on the coral? How 'healthy' does the coral have to be?
I just ordered some FW Exit, intending to use as a dip, but if I can use FW that would be even better. Does the FW need to be RO/DI or will treated tap water also work? Charles
