Yes, I'll repeat the process this week end. If some are still alive, they will start spreading like crazy again! So I rather do it again right away and get rid of it for good!



Is there any way to prevent introducing flatworms to a tank?

Where do they come from? I'm assuming new corals?

Could I dip any new coral in flatworm exit before introducing it to my tank just to be on the safe side?

Any tips?
