I HAVE Acro Eating flatworms...sad thing is you don't know you have them even AFTER 6 weeks of QT! There are quite a few threads that discuss using Camel Shrimp in your sump, rotate corals through there but not leaving the coral for longer than an hour in the sump exposed to the shrimps as they will eat the coral once the flatworm and eggs are gone. There also another suggestion to remove ALL acros from the tank, scrape off any remnants, and QT them using the above camel shrimp in the sump, and picking off any eggs that you can under a scope.....it is a nasty nasty nasty thing to have. Then you leave the display tank acro free for...well as long as you can but not less than 2 or is it 3 months...can't remember...

Right now I am just living with them..they do damage... ALOT of damage....but....I don't trade corals and am just living with it until I decide that I want to do something.....now Monti eating Nudi's....had those too...NASTY too...! I'd take redbugs any day over either of those.....and so far I haven't actually heard of a monti eating flatworm...just the acro eating flatworm and red planaria flatworm.
