I think my flower ray has worms! I moved her into her new tank about 2 weeks ago and she has slowed down on her eating. I have only been feeding her frozen shrimp and scallops. Well tonight she didn't eat at all. I noticed her poo has small white worm like things in it. Look like small worms. I don't feed her live foods except an occasion earthworm. Well I look at her underside and saw this reddish looking thing coming out of her rectum. It has a small white thing on the side that looks like what is in her poo. I took a couple of pics. I have the temp at 82 and added 2 lbs of salt to the 75 gallon that she is in. I am going to get some prazi tomorrow and see if I can get her to eat injected worms. I think this is what happened to tank125's flower.

Yes I did that when I first got her.

What is the full name of metro? Can that be injected into their food or just used as a water treatment?

both, but best mixed with the food
 
Jungle makes an anti-parasitic food that has, praziquantel, metronidazole and levamisole.
It is in pellet form and you could pulverise it mix with a little water and inject into some
worms if they are taking them. If they will take the pellets alone that would be even better.
