Great way to rid your tank of those pesky corals too...

An iodine dip will wash off the flat worms. You will have to carefully inspect for eggs. They are small, hard to see & iodine does not kill them. The only way to be sure is to manually remove them. I use a jewlers loop to carfully inspect each piece. If it is an infected colony, I figure it's almost impossible to be sure you've caught all the eggs. Therefore fragging the colony is the best alternative to be sure you get all the eggs.

Thanks for all the comments. The Camelshrimp might work for me as well as the iodine treatment.
I think it was tang daddy (?) who told me about some way of ridding acro eating flatworms from a tank.
Thanks Super7

tmpcc 10x the recomended dose for 45mins and then use a maxijet or turkey baster to blast the coral after inspect under a desk lamp for eggs and stragglers that may have hung on, take no prisonners!!
