2 Weeks later...

Not sure if there's any growth, I'll have to pull it out and count polyps.

No decent picture for the Acro. I believe it is dead. Never saw any polyp extension.

Yes it is. My tank is heavily stocked with crabs and snails, so I'm at loss with how to deal with it for now. They came with the very first coral I bought when I restarted my tank.

I have a dragonet that eats them. Springers damsels are a good option also.

Mandarins can control flat worms

Yep, I'd try and add something to help keep the population under control. A natural predator would be my preference over chemicals like FWE.

I'm seeing other pods now, so a Mandarin Dragonet will soon have a new home.

My Ruby Red eats them and I have read success stories on the Target Mandarins eating them.

Someone finally decided to grace is with its presence. I had long since written it off as being dead.http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/12/16/5ba9403a4d3042efb1272ac9138c680c.jpg

Nice going on everything John. Hit 5 adult polyps on the MCC AOG and they will explode in growth.
