Austintylerl Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 I had a flat worm on my torch coral a few months ago and dipped it no problem. Same torch not happy lately and its also now epoxied to a large rock. Came home and a 1” flat worm was on the glass. Do they leave their hosts? The torch is still alive but still not looking great. Probably a lame question but thought i wiuld take a shot tha ks Quote Link to comment
ReefGoat Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Red planeria? Because there is a type that people usually don't worry about. It the AEFW and the red planeria that most people dread. 1" seems pretty big too. Quote Link to comment
