Help please! Is this red Flatworms?

just batteled them. use flatworm exit but make sure you get more than you need. hit'em hard the first and second time and make sure you run some carbon once they start dying off

 

Thanks for all the help guys. I am picking up some flatworm exit tomorrow. Going to treat the 2 rock that is most infested in a seperate tank of water. The rest of the rocks I will treat in the tank, with 20% water change right after they die. Will let you guys know the result
Going to pickup a 6 line after this is all done to keep it under control.

 

Here is an update. I pulled all the rocks that seems to have alot of flatworms on it and put it into a bucket. Treated them and put it back into the tank. Than I went ahead and treated the whole tank. Dousing flat worm exit into the sump. Within mins the worms are all dead... I ran carbon in the system right away and did a 20% water change.

It has been a few days now. And everything is fine. I do notice a few worm still and will do another treatment next week. during the treatment, I noticed the snails did not like it at all and try to get out of the tank. My big turbo snails keep twitching but recovered over night.

 

Great, keep us updated! Flatworm toxins can be some harsh stuff. You have the right idea though trying to treat the bulk of the rock out of the tank first. With additional treatments, the negative effects should decrease, as there are less worms and therefore less toxins. Definitely better to kick the infestation in the butt know rather than wait for the population to grow larger, with even more potential toxin release.

 

Another idea would be to go to your local vet office and buy some de-wormer. Just tell the vet what you are going to use it for. Usually this requires approval from the vet to get these prescription type meds. Remove any and all inverts you want to keep. Take 1/4 of the pill and crush to a fine powder. Pour some RO water in with powder and swirl around until desolved. Pour it in your tank. BOOM! They will be dead. Do a 40 percent water change. 1 time fix. But I cant emphasize enough that it will kill ALL inverts in your tank including pods, snails, crabs, shrimp, etc.
