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!!

I bought a hammer coral for someone the other day that let us know he had flat worms (not sure what kind) in his tank. We did a fresh water dip on the coral for little bit over a minute then we put it in our frag tank. We saw about 3 small worm like things in the water after the fresh water dip. We don't have any SPS corals in our tank, just softies and some lps, should I try the betadine dip method on the coral and turkey blast it or do you think the fresh water dip was enough?
