Always have to learn the hard way...
So for the past month or two i have been battling monti eating nudi from not properly qt some coral I bought online. I gave them a dip in coral RX nothing came off them and put em in my tank. About a week later seen little nudis on them. I ended up throwing a couple out,what a waste of money... and I have been dipping the rest of them a couple times a week. I do believe im winning this battle..
So for a week or two one of my torch colonies that I grew out from 3-4 head frag hasn't been doing to well, thought it was from an Alk swing. I manual dose my aquarium, it happens. and it was getting worse and worse. So I thought I would dip it to see if it would rebound quicker. Out Came the coral Rx. As soon as I put it in the dip at least 30 of these flatworms fell off ranging from a half inch to maybe an inch long. they look like a type of polyclad that has been eating my torch. On closer inspection of the coral noticed 100s of eggs. So now I will be fraging it up and also setting up a permanent qt tank for all my corals to treat this infestation. and any new coral i buy will be qt for a minimum of 4 weeks.
Here is some pics of the Euphyllia eating flatworms
