flatworm

[chez]

Can anyone tell me if this is a good flatworm or bad?
Thanks

There's good flatworms? I thought they were all a nuisance to a reef tank.

Since 99.9% of the flatworms are coral predators,I wouldnt trust it.

looks like a nudi to me

It does look like a nudi. How big is it?

That's no flatworm, is it? It's colorful like a nudibranch.

Its about an inch, it has some nice colors on it also. i cant find it anymore and Rcpilot say i should turn up the heat to about 105 to kill my aptasia on my liverock.

Looks like a nudibranch, but would need a better pic.

I hope he wasn't serious. That might kill your aiptasia, but it will also kill everything else in the tank. Will stink up the house pretty good too.

we're havin a seafood boil over at Chez's place...

 

[chez]

I'm thinking about it but I'm really hesitant...not sure if i want to kill all the good stuff on the rocks...

Have you tried to control them (aiptasia) in all the other ways?

 

[chez]

not yet i just threw all the rocks in a 60gal that i plan to use as my fuge and in a 50gal rubbermate...while i get the main tank ready.

i would let them sit in freshwater, take like 20 lbs or so and keep them in saltwater and do some type of aipstasia control on those rocks and when its all dead and gone use that 20 lbs to seed the rest of your rock..

to help identify that nudi. as mentioned its most likely a coral eater.

the freshwater dip would also kill your live rock as would the heat. Aiptasia control and animals such as peppermint shrimp or butterflies.

rasing your temp that high will kill everything so why pay 5-10 dollars a pound for rock just to kill everything on it. just get some pepermint shrimp and some aptasia x
