theres lots of fish that eat common flat worms (planaria) but AEFW no.I dipped mine in Pro Cure and broke off major affected areas

Can you see tiny round bite marks on the underside of coral?

You've got AEFW. You're in for a long tough battle.

All the remedies against the flatworms themselves: predators, FWE, dipping, are not very effective all at against the eggs which are next to invisible. You must inspect each and every colony under a bright light with a magnifying glass.
