Small Red specks/fakes on live rock

[JJIM]

Hello All,

Anyone have an idea what small red specks/flakes are on my live rock?


They seem to vacuum up easily, but they come back rather fast. Thanks!

Sounds like red flatworms

Yep thosse appear to be it. What is the best way to rid the tank of these critters? Suggestions....

Flatworm exit works pretty well just be sure to follow the directions and suck out as many before hand as possible, and sometimes you have to do it a few times, if any flatworms survive the first dose they come right back. Or Velvet Nudi's eat them, you'd need a few of them though.

Do not get nudibranchs to handle flatworms. They will almost always slowly starve to death in your aquarium.
