Damn.. Caught a Flat WORM!

man, so as many of you know Flatworms are bad, in my case i did not get AEFW, but i got RED PLANARIA Flatworms, i found 1 of this in my tank, took it out and inspected and rechecked, it came out to me a Red Planaria, what do i do from here? should i treat my tank with Flatworm Exit or wait till i see more? like i said i only found 1 but they can be more...

My tank is SPS dominate and i do have a QT tank set up, idk how this got passed my dips. I do use the Bayer Method for my dips.
i dont however have any fishes in my tank, because if my Ich cycle, i maybe putting this to a stop and adding some wrasse's.

so what should i do?
1. Use Salifert Exit
2. Wait till i see 5+ more?
3. Get some Wrasse's

 

It got past the dip probably in egg forum.

I would do a wait and see.

I tend to not feel warm and fuzzy about buying a fish or invert to treat another unless of course you want a wrasse.

While disconcerting, the population is not going to explode within a weeks time. I would count my blessing that it was not AEFW.

There have been times when I introduced them to my tank and only once did I have to intervene.

Moved to------General Reef Topics.

 

Thanks Cheryl, ill wait till mid January and check on it. if it gets worse i will buy the flatworm exit and proceed
