![]() Do you have another picture that shows the head of this flatworm? I want to see if this is the common Planaria flatworm.

![]() I was just googling that, seems to be mixed reviews between flatworm treatmints which im reading wont kill the eggs or buying a 6 line wrasse to eat em? I have some corals that have been dying slowly from the bass up but have never seen them on the coral, but its the only thing i can think that is causing them to die. Are you having any problems with your coral? I just noticed them in my qt tank. Lots. The crazy thing is that its been sitting with just water and bairly any water movement for months. No food water changes, top offs nothing. not even a heater, cant imagine what the waters like in their and yet theirs tons on the glass. They must have came from some live rock i bought awhile back because nothing has ever been in the tank other then live rock. They are resilient little buggers ay

![]() Their so small, and mostly clear, i cant get a better picture, that one was through a magnafying glass. And i cant see the head myself looking though it either, are some flatworms less trouble then others, i was reading about red or brown ones but these are clearish or white

![]() Blueyota For getting rid of them it sounds like this levamisole stuff works for treating your whole tank. If you enter levamisole in the search option on here you can see other peoples results,

![]() I was wondering. After alot of reading it sounds like treating the tank with levamisole will be my best bet and cheapest to get rid of them all. If anyone on here has used this methode on the hole tank, can you tell me if it will kill my saddle carpet anemone? I read everything from softies to snails all seem to recover from the treatments, but i havnt found anyone say anything about a anemone. Any advice on that
