Flat worm ?
Looking at some of my colonies ... i noticed that they are starting to recede from the base... pulled one colonie to look and notice a clear thing moving ... was very hard to see... im guessing flat worms.... i heard of this stuff called flat worm exit ... where can i get it ? and is there something else that works just as well with out dipping the corals ?

A six line wrasse will do a job on flatworms, we use them when we see FWs in our tanks. We avoide chemicals if we can at all times in the store.

A yellow coris wrasse worked well for me. I've used flatworm exit in the past and usually a couple survive and then the population grows again. Its much safer and more natural to use a natural predator like a wrasse.

Ive had AEFW before and the only way to get rid of them is repeated dips over a few weeks or get rid of that coral.They lay eggs that are not effected by flat worm exit which hatch days after.You must remove that coral and scrape of eggs and dip.Quarantine!
