Well I found that I have an outbreak of red flatworms.
A little info first
I don’t notice them bothering any of my corals I have LPs, sps, and softies.
I don’t notice any of my fish eating them.
I do see them spreading rather quickly.
Now I want them gone but how to approach this I am unsure how to go about it. I have read all I can find about treating these little buggers before they turn into a plague but I see know possible way of siphoning them out. And here that buy a fish to eat them is totally hit and miss.
I don't want to treat with flatworm exit unless that’s a last resort I heard to many story’s of it either not working or crashing tanks.
A couple things I know for a fact is that flatworm exit will kill mini brittle stars witch I like in my tank and have many. Will this also kill my serpent star? Also would it be wise to catch the fish out if possible and place them in a q-tank although I would end up placing almost 6 fish in a q tank if I did this that might be just as bad.
Will is affect any corals hermits or snails.
