Something new is growing along w/my coraline aglae

[msd2]

I have noticed over the last few weeks this orangish colored stuff on a few of the rocks. Its not soft, or easily blows off of the rocks, it almost acts like a coraline, but I have never seen one this color before. All parameters are good, nh3, ates, ites 0, ph 8.4 salinity 1.025 alk and ca balanced. the 'problem area is almost dead center of the pic on the lower half of the rock making a ledge.

it looks like flatworms.

Get flatworm exit to take care of them.

thanks, that did the trick amazingly well. I also did a 22% water change a few hours after tx and all looks very good.

[nemo lover]

Just went through all this last week as well. Had to dose twice about 5 days apart for the stragglers. Flatworm Exit works great.

No, just in the ls which is normal
THanks for the heads up on the possible retreatment of the tank, hopefully I wont need to but I will keep an extra eye out for em.
And I refilled my canister w/fresh carbon and its running 24/7, lol I was overdue for a waterchange anyway and the corals seem to be much happier today. Those lil buggers did a number on the coraline algae though.
