I got some live rock from a friend who's reef was infested with flat worms. Since the live rocks came from his sump, is there a chance that it may also be infected? If so, how do you recommend I get rid of them. Should I use worm exit?

also when using it, if you dont have too many fragile speices, my LSF owner suggested using 150% does to make sure you get them with one dosing. Make sure you run ALOT of activated carbon after the dosing is done. goodluck!

If the rocks aren't in your tank yet it would be nice to treat them in a seperate container, although I've never heard anyone have a problem with FW exit.

If you do get some FW in your tank, best thing is to find something that will eat them, such as a yellow coris wrasse. Then siphon the ones you see, the coris wrasse should keep them away IME....
