Euphyllia Eating Flatworm (EEF), it is finally my turn to encounter this reef aquarium pest that takes down Torch Corals! Thankfully, once you know that they are in your tank, they are supposedly relatively easy to remove the the system, thanks to their specialty diet of Euphyllia (some reports mentioned that they may target other LPS corals, but so far I have only seen them on my Torches). The tricky part is that these PolyClad’s eggs are not affected by coral dips, so I will have to stay vigilant and dip these Torch Corals for a few months in a row to make sure I get every last of it.
