Sinistard Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 These 2 little guys just showed up and I wondered if they are bad, I saw a tank to my LFS that had tons of the white critter and If they will take over the tank I want to get then out;) Thanks for looking Link to comment
lgreen Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 just a flatworm, not harmfull so much unless there are a lot of them. clear ones are not as destructive, but sometimes red ones can irritate corals. the green thing is also a flatworm, but should cause any problems. Link to comment
dakine Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 If you want them out, try a 6 line wrasse to eat themor a product called flatworm exit. The flatworm exit stuff works really well, but make sure you read all the directions because when the flatworms die en masse, they leak out a toxic substance. So be ready for water changes and to run carbon. Link to comment
Angel Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Yep, flatworms. The white ones eat copepods and smaller red flatworms. You can syphon them out with each water change. I have found that once under control and the water parameters are right, they fade out on their own. I still have two (that I know of) white ones and I just let them be, they don't harm anything.
