coral frag that broke had a little bug under it

Flatworm is what I was thinking. If it is you can treat it and maybe get a blackspotted wrasse they eat them.

Sixline and yellow coris will wipe them out right quick. Of course, the sixline might wipe out the rest of the tankmates too (mine was MEAN).


To the op, I know it wasn't an emergency. I just didn't want you to start Interceptor treatment without being sure. That stuff is hard on a tank, kills all your pods, crabs, shrimp. If it is truly red planaria, treatment is pretty safe, and very effective. I had them show up last year, I only had a few. Hit it with Flatworm xit, all gone, no negative effects. That being said, if there are a boatload of planaria, treatment is a little more intense. Run a search and you will get lots of good ideas.

Redbugs are much worse, imho. But, Paul Whitby says we overreact to them. And the more I see, the more I am inclined to agree.

Very few lfs are going to treat for things such as redbugs, flatworms, aefw, etc. I use Bayer Advanced as one of my "incoming" dips, along with a very close inspection under a magnifier to look for any things such as aefw eggs. Or zoa nudis, I can't see those for squat.
