flatworm??

hi, is the brown thing on my mushroom flatworm? or just algae? hw do i remove it?

Looks like flatworms. You can remove your mushrooms and iodine dip. Or manually remove the flatworms with tweezers.

definately flatworms. dun think algae can grow on mushrooms (: use a tooth pick to gently scrape it, or dip it in iodine or flatworm exit. be quick with ur actions. they spread like wildfire.

dun let them spread to ur LPS else damn diff to remove by then...

can try e flat worm exit, FW dips, and other medications best to qurantine e mushroom when its shedding its slime..

thts e only way e flat worms can come off e skin.. dun poke or contact with the mushroom membrane u will injure its flesh..

mushroom may detach from rock and slight drop in colouration if under medications but its normal... will stick back to rock after recover..

I'd move the infected mushrooms away from the non infected ones. The worms are very fast, you gotta move on them quickly. You can use a pair of tweezers to remove them but be very careful not to injure the mushroom. I've read about this method of shining a spot of light into the tank at night, as the flatworms are attracted to light. Perhaps you can try and share if it works.
