I didn't quarantine and am regretting it.

I recently purchased 2 new polys and now I have a problem. I see small white worm looking creatures on them. They are no longer than 2 mm. I have seen some minor scratching from a couple of my fish. The tank is a 150gallon planted tank. Other than the minor scratching and the visible wormlike things there are no other symptoms. Any ideas? I have researched and have narrowed it down to either anchor worms or flukes. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I don't want to just dump medication into my tank without being educated.

Ok now after more research I am 90% sure it is flukes. I will treat with praziquantel and always quarantine in the future.

I'd use clout if the prazi doesn't work, but it usually does

i would ask Beblondie in the poly forum before i treat a poly since they are different then fish...at least look through the forum and see as much info as possible.

I have checked through many posts and saw one from her that said 75% dose for polys but thank you for the concern.
