univited toadstool company

[Great White 76]

Our toadstool hasn't opened for two days and we couldn't figure out why. I just took a loser look today and I say about 5 or 6 red flat worms on it.

I have no clue what I need to do. I tried to syphon them out but was unable to. What is the best way to get rid of these things?

We have:
2 false percs
longnose hawk
yw goby
2 engineer gobies
dwarf angel
3 firefish
red scooter blenny
royal gramma

We also have some torch coral and anthelia that are both doing fine.

I use a turkey baster to suck them off.

Thank you for the idea. We called an lfs and they said we should use the flatworm exit. I am kind of leary to put any chemicals in the tank if I can help it, but I REALLY don't like these in there.

yep...no chems here either. I just have the baster ready, get right on top of teh worm and whoos....right into the baster...kinda like a super vacuum

I am just really worried about my toadstool. How much damage can these things do?
