I thought you said they died in your tank when you added them? Also I remember you bringing home a colony from a vendor at NECAC last year that was infested with them. I do have to say when my tank crashed last year and the remaining liverstock went to Joes house I kept acros out of my tank for a good 3 months and have not seen them since.
I also started usuing different distributors and have not seen them coming in on any acros (as of yet) but continue to treat for them anyway.
congrats on finally getting rid of those majano
Darren, can you elaborate on it taking 3 months for some to grow into 1/4" size? How was this test done, etc? That would be very bad news for everyone if that were the case. I have spent countless hours over the last few days reading about egg-laying marine flatworms, and none have life cycles that last anywhere near that long. Most simple flatworms such as these have life-cycles in the range of 3-4 weeks. That is why they can lay eggs shortly (a week or 2) after coming out of eggs themselves. For a simple flatworm to live even 3 months would be very unusual.

Here is an idea....just an idea, mind you. Everyone should make an Interceptor and Levisamole dip (soak) a routine whenever introducing new items to a system. Let's leave it at that, and stop playing the "no, it's THEIR fault game." This crap is getting everyone nowhere. Just my oh so humble opinion.

i just did the picture method. i used a millepora that hasnt looked all that great lately. the base of it has turned a little green and its not as bright pink as usual, - my tank went through an alk swing and many of my corals lost color. this one just hasnt come completely back yet, but it has been starting to color up.
i left the coral out for a little over ten minutes. as soon as i put the coral back in water i took a shot as darren suggested.

Looking at the pic, am i supposed to be seeing something in particular? Not being sarcastic here...I don't see anything out of the ordinary. Nice orange digitata in the background!

This has been a useful thread about the acro flatworms, and a constructive exchange about methods for dealing with them. Let's not completely divert it and get into a fight. If there is a personal problem, please deal with it in a PM. If there is a problem about moderation policy, bring it up in the BRS Business forum. But keep comments in this thread on topic, and non-inflamatory.
Thanks, Nate

This $hit is so old already!!!! If reefers kept up on things they would have known about these little Ba$ards over a year ago & been looking for eggs & the adults on newly acquired AC colonies. It was no secret & most experienced reefers or people who tend to research would have found all the info then. I myself have been looking for these little a holes for over two years already. I found out about them from reading on the internet. It's a big scare for everyone now. I've been scared for 2 years & I'm tired. It really doesn't matter where you got them. The person who gets them is just as much to blame as the person who gave them as far as I'm concerned. Ignorance is not an excuse!!!IffersTankSlave said:
