I've looked and looked but they hike up shipping so high, its such bogus. I was hoping to get some from a reefer on here for just the cost of shipping.

The nudi's all died, and I even went through a flatworm exit treatment......There back!
I suppose I could alwyas rinse the chaeto in freshwater and send you some, or I can keep it in a bucket with some old water and do a FWE treatment on it 24 hours before sending you some if you like. Unfortunalty that would kill off any and all pods and worms in it, giving it a good freshwater soak.
Where there's a will there's a way. Did you really need some?

I am amazed how hard it is to find around here. Everyone has calurpra !!
We are OK for now......since we just switch over from calurpra, we aren't sure how its supposed to look. We put it in our HOB on the new 45 gallon. Trying to figure out if the light on the HOB need to be in a reverse lighting schedule or 24/7 ???
Tell me, are flatworms hiitchhikers that mulitply very quickly? I am never sure of what they truly are.
Sorry about the nudi's I think they are cool looking, did they eat what you had?

It should look like green long grass all tangled together. For best results, leave your light on all the time, as when the light goes out, the cheato will sexually reproduce, adding to the waste of the tank. MY fuge light is on 24/7. Also helps ballance out any pH flux

I put mine on a reverse schedule but have left it on for a couple of days in a row now and again.
Nudi's were doing fine but they always found a way to die, overflow, power head, what ever they could do to die they found the way.
Flatworms (the red ones) are a menace that can be hitch hikers, when they die in vast numbers can release some very good toxins that can kill fish and coral.
Here is some chaeto
