TORCH flatworms?

[3seconds2live]

Well i believe I have torch coral flatworms. I used coral rx on them late obviously. My question will all flatworms attack acros? I've dipped all my acropora, I didnt know torch corals got flatworms too. Please advise.

Only a specific breed of flatworms eat acro, AEFW (Acro Eating Flatworm), they usually only attach to acros. However, the common flatworms can multiply so much that they start to blanket corals and kill them off just by getting covered up. Try to get rid of them, either with medication or Melanarus wrasse.

Thanks for the reply. I just dipped the torch. Its got little eggs on it... Should I just accept it as a loss or does coralRX kill the eggs too?

No dip, that I know off at least, kills the eggs. Use a stiff brush and something like a toothpick to get as many of the eggs off as you can. Do this by weekly till you see no eggs.
