Flat Worms

[Panda]

Anyone have them? I am trying to ID what I think is a Flat worm. Has anyone been able to contain them, if so how?

I have a bristleworm - it is grey in colour and doesn't need to be contained. Apparently if the worms are red or brown, you might have a problem. I guess my advice would be to be sure you have the identity of the worms.

Online advice that I've seen - siphon out the worms or hire an Arrow Crab to do the work ( but make sure you don't have animals that will go after the Arrow Crab!)

I saw this advice about creating a trap for the worms, I will message you with that information.

I had them a while back. They were the little white ones with kind of a forked tail. I was told that these are the good ones. They kinda went away after a month or so. It is the redish brown ones that can become a huge epidemic rather quickly. Then I think you need "Flat Worm Exit". You might want to do a search on RC. I found pics and valuble info when I had'em.

Thanks Guys, I talked to Dr. Ron off of RC and he wants me to send a sample so he can give me an ID.
