Something's been munching my stylopora. I wonder if that was the culprit. Dare I hope that he had no friends?
Btw I hope your fish and eel are ok.

Chiton? I have a few and think that's what I'm supposed to be looking at in the picture. They are safe and hard to get. It's a keeper!

 

[Zirky]

Too late, I'm afraid he had an unfortunate accident with a garbage disposal.

Yes it is a chiton, good cleanup critter.
Is there a memorial service planned?

My bad! My knee jerk reaction to what’s happening in my tank!

Understandable if I saw that on one to my fish I'd be traumatized

No just a quiet burial at seank
Do you carry an iron supplement for macro growth? you mentioned it on my first visit to your shop a year or so ago.

Fish and eel are ok! Can’t tell if the eel is affected because I only ever see his head. I wonder if I have the blood suckers only when there isn’t detritus for them to eat. Either way the flatworm exit is arriving today!

If you have a lot of bristle worms be ready for a water change Incase they a die and contaminate the water

 

[aresangel]

None in that rank. I might do my tank at home too.. I had a couple flatworms on my lps and mushrooms in the past. Just kinda wowed that they are toxic when they die... they are so small!

It’s only if it’s a lot dying at once. No biggie if it’s only a few
