red acro eating flatworm in frag tank

[zoo's aquarium services]

i found several red acro eating flatworms on a frag from [a LFS] in there small frag tank w/ 3 sections and the sand bed. so dip and quarantine for two weeks then dip agian to kill the eggs the fist dip will not kill the eggs. just wanted to warn all you fellow reefers and maybe prevent a tank infestation. i let the store know i found them

Red acro eating flatworms? Has it been confirmed that the red ones eat acros? I had a tank infestation a few years back and had thousands of the little clear ones and one big red one but didn't know the red ones ate acros! Good to know!

And here is a picture of the clear kind that eat acros.

Hope this helps with any concern. Good luck!
