Hi Chris! Did you know that flatworms are not reef enemies, they really are our friends. They eatdetritusand such. You never really see them out unless it's feeding time, or if you peek in your tank at night with your red flashlight! Personally, while working in the tank....remembering I'm all female....I've grabbed a few while searching for a dropped frag or whatever.I scream, do the dance, and Dave laughs his butt off! I wanted everyone of them out of my tank, but Dave (Dakar) has repeatedly told me that they don't harm anything in the reef. He has to be right on this one because I've never encountered any damaged coral. I leave the little ones in there, and the long one's that have been working for a while *you can tell by how long they are...
ewww*, get to move to the retirement home in the refuge. I wanted them dead just like you until I witnessed them eatingdetritus. I have one that is quite large that lives in a corner rock, and he keeps his corner pristine clean. It's really the natural life cycle of the reef. I too wish there weren't quite that many in there! Anyway, that's our opinion. Just don't look at them or touch the slimy things! They're harmless! ......Angel :angel1:
