White flat worm on Euphyllia

[Eniram]

Hi reefers, anyone out there experienced the above infestation on your Hammer, Frogspawn, True Octo and Torch.

I have not come across any flat worms affecting euphyllia before and there is no mention of it in the literature. I will try and get a photo when i get the time.

Has any one experienced this?

Will this affect other coral?

What would the solution be?

Thanks

what is the size? i have experienced two kinds of flatworms on euphyllids. small tiny brown ones (harmless), while rather large purplish-white ones (not sure if harmful or not)

a picture will be very uesful in identifying the type of flatworms.

FW dip is not very advisable on euphyllias....quite sensitive. best is to use coral RX.

not sure. there are some kinds of flatworms that prey on corals, while some don't. best to remove all of them. unless they are the small brown flatworms, like those on mushrooms.
