YUP,it's a typical flat worm.I agree about the bugs.Might want to get the turkey baster out first.If your not looseing your acros then your lucky.I would get the revive out and dip some colony's.If they're on colony's then got to the exit fast
FIRST PIC UNDER THE FLATWORM! what is that bug??? ive got thousands of them and i think those are what are attackin my zoas
Those are copods DC and they're not attacking your zoa's but are known to eat dead and dying zoa's. Also in higher numbers they will irritate zoas also.
ehhh its too big to be a copepod. copepods are the tiny little itty bitty guys that swim in swarms. i know its some kind of pod but i dont thinks it a cop-,amphi-, or iso-
I have been keeping a very close eye on my corals and so far have seen no sign of infestation of flatworms in the DT. They seem to love the fuge, with it's intense lighting and lack of flow and high nutrients..which has made it very easy to siphon them out in large numbers..which I did yesterday by the way and will do so daily. I'm waiting on hooking up my ro/di unit before doing a wc and this is why I've not treated the entire system with Flatworm Exit.
That little bug looks like an enlarged bacteria, lol.
I have some flatworms and they're a pain to get rid of, however I don't see them causing any issue with any of my coral. I just don't like their looks. I've been using a different flatworm killer brand and it's not that great...shoulda picked up the flatworm exit, but this had better reviews...
Must be careful though if you use exit. I heard you can pretty much crash your tank using the stuff wrong.
