perhaps a pest. . .

Hello all~

I just noticed a couple of black "dots" on the inside of 6-7 of the arms on my torch. I don't have any pictures, but based on what I've seen in the past ( pics and whatnot ) I think they may be flatworms. The tank has been running over 10 months now, and I've never seen one, is it possible that they are only in the coral? If so, how can I get rid of if it's inside. Secondly, I was about to add 20 more pounds of live rock to the tank, do you think this is still a wise decsion?

Thanks

LS

picture would be the best if you can.
but it is possible they are flat worms, many types not all are bad, there are a few natural predators of them, or you can do the chemical route not sure if it is RId worm or ExIT ..
the LR is it cured already? if not you may want to set up a tank (QT) to make sure it is done with the dye off before placing in the tank.

I agree with Tim!
