    I picked up a Pink FrogSpwan yesterday and didnt have any thing to dip it in and no other tanks setup except my D.T. I notice today I have a tan colored Flatworm on the FrogSpawn. What other coral's will they affect?
    I have some S.P.S. and duncans and palys and zoas and shroom and some softies.
    Will they just stay on the PFS or other corals as well?
    thnx for your time.

    I am going to order some exit but it will be a while before I can get it in the water.

    we have massive flatworms on the frogspawn here at the PSU tank... i have never seen the flatworms on another coral (sps dominant and WAYYY overgrown with sps lol) but that does not mean it wont happen. im no flatworm expert either, just my observations from this tank

    Go grab a 6-line wrasse or manually remove them and hope they haven't multiplied yet. They are one of those things that you want to get rid of asap.

    They can easily get to plague numbers and by that point you can't really do much of anything except remove them manually.
