    I have a Pink Frog Spawn that has been in the tank since monday, It has a case of tan colored flatworms. If I do a fresh water dip will it kill out the flatworms? What is the time I should leave it in fresh water. (if its a good idea or not?) I cant see them anywhere else in the tank.
    thnx for your time

    I've only dipped clams in FW so I do NOT know this applies to frogspawn but...

    I match the FW temp and pH to the DT first. Then I dip the clam for 15-20 minutes.

    Again, I am not saying this is fine or not for LPS coral... just my experience w/FW dipping FYI

    I am not sure about fw dipping it...
    I hate to be the bearer of bad news...but, if you have them on that new piece of coral they are already spreading in your tank! I would treat the whole tank.
