gmerek2 June 10, 2015 Share June 10, 2015 Google red planaria and make sure they look the same. I bet some sort of wrasse would take care of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coral Hind June 10, 2015 Share June 10, 2015 They are flatworms but I can't tell from the pics if they are red planaria. Also research a product called Flatworm Exit. Some wrasses will help to control them but will never fully wipe them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scubaguy June 10, 2015 Share June 10, 2015 Question: Did you add something new to your tank that bought them in? any ideas how you got them?just curious.. Richie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coral Hind June 10, 2015 Share June 10, 2015 Once they are removed, make sure you dip all new corals and rock to prevent them from showing up in your display tank again. Search this site for many threads covering the techniques of proper dipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coral Hind June 11, 2015 Share June 11, 2015 Could have come in on your original live rock unless you started with dry rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you figured out what your plan on getting rid of these is? You could always use your new nano to hold corals or as a qt tank to help with your dipping process. If you use flatworm exit just know if too many die at once you could end up having to deal with alot of toxins they release when killed.

eddiev0008 June 15, 2015 Author Share June 15, 2015 Well as what I can see there are not to many in my tank well that I can see! As for the nano I'm still looking for a stand for it :( someone was going to sell me a biocube stand but he backed out the last min. So I need a small nano stand to get it started Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I need a small nano stand to get it started For around $100 you can get a biocube stand on Amazon Prime shipped in 2 days to your door. I wouldn't worry about them if they are not hurting anything. Just make sure you have a good dipping process for future additions, you may not get so lucky.
