ID please - UPDATED with Pic this time.

My apologies for leaving out the pic. I was doing several things a once, and apparently left it out.

These aren't good are they? What are they called. A worm of some sort? What will get rid of them?

Red Planaria Flatworms. You do want to get rid of these before they reproduce and get really out of hand. If the numbers are already high said:
Thanks Matt.
That's what I was thinking. I thought I read something about them but couldn't remember. I don't no where they came from. Must have been on a few new pieces of rock I bought. The coraline has had some die-off since I've noticed them. I'm not sure if they eat the stuff but I guess I need to treat the tank fast before I get too many more.

Thanks - Jeremy
 
Well I finished my treatment this afternoon. That stuff worked fast!!!!
20 minutes and they were toast. The only problem was my sea stars started tripping out. I guess it was due to the toxic fluids from the worms. I started carbon right after that, and began the 25 gal water change. The tank is back together and everything looks good.
Thanks for the advice! :D
 
Well guess what...I've got a few more flat worms showing up. I dosed it again, but it looks like there not really phased by the stuff. Unless they are simply stuck to the rock. Star fish are tripping out again too. :sad:
 
are sure you used the proper dosage. That stuff usually works and flatworm do grow ammune to it. Not killing them all on the first dosage is not uncommon. Nest time you use is it, I would take the starfish out until it's done.
