coralreefengr Posted April 14, 2003 Share Posted April 14, 2003 Sounds like flatworms to me. Anybody else? I've heard of people having them but that they haven't been much problem. Most people just don't like to see them in their tanks. They are probably Convolutriloba. Link to comment
Christopher Marks Posted April 14, 2003 Share Posted April 14, 2003 Sounds like flatworms. Link to comment
BRIANSTINYREEF Posted April 14, 2003 Author Share Posted April 14, 2003 HOW DO I GET RID OF THEM WHAT EATS THESE FLAT WORMS.. Link to comment
coralreefengr Posted April 14, 2003 Share Posted April 14, 2003 A. Turn off your caps lock. FYI: It's SCREAMING. B. Strong current should help. C. Blooms in strongly illuminated areas. D. Chelidonura supposedly eats them. This is a sea slug. That's all I know (or have read) Link to comment
TiGs Posted April 14, 2003 Share Posted April 14, 2003 You can syphon them out to cut the population down or you can use chemical treatment that's out in the market, don't know the name of it. Link to comment

Twins Guy Posted April 19, 2003 Share Posted April 19, 2003 DUDE! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lose the caps lock-its tired! capitalize for emphasis maybe (see DUDE!) biological warfare is hit or miss, especially in a nano (with all their limits) siphoning is your best bet, then check RC if you have to resort to chemical warfare. i'm treating mine with an Aquatronic medication called Quinsulex, which utilizes the active ingredient quinine. Salifert has a new product that is supposedly reef-safe (maybe not SPS safe however) called Flatworm Exit. there still is alot of debate over the best plan of attack however and no chemical is 100% safe. you really should read up on the best procedures-siphoning, treatment, then massive water changes accompanied by siphoning corpses, running lots of carbon, and heavy skimming. Tsaut recently used "Exit"-he might be a good resource. don't even respond with that caps lock, willis- tg Link to comment
zizmans Posted April 19, 2003 Share Posted April 19, 2003 LOL It was hilarious reading this. I kept yelling in my head YES SIR THEY DO. Reminded me of that Will Ferrel character that had only one volume to his voice. Link to comment
