A reminder to people...always assume the frag you just got has pests and treat accordingly. Brennan found out about these worms because he gave me a frag that I found a flatworm on. FW dips are the only preventative measure that I know of. 30 seconds in temp corrected RO water and constant basting to dislodge worms works wonders and the frag is doing awesome 24 hours later.
Thanks for the frag Brennan!! I still have to pay you for it too!

No payment required, the coral debt is on my shoulders!

As a note, I knew that some frags I got had the flatworms as I seen a couple in the bag they were in. Did an overnight interceptor treatment, and also FW dip in the morning. I did at least 30 seconds, I am sure. I also used a pipet to try and blow them off in the FW. And they still ended up in my tank! Point to be taken from this: be overly cautious. Fw dip them and then look at them in the light with a magnifying glass and remove them. Thats what I should have done, but hindsight is 20/20.
There is excellent pictures of them on the link I posted.

My parasite paranoia is growing.

Next in line, monti eating nudies!
