I have alot of the supposed "reef safe" flatworms in my tank, small browinish tan ones. I'm starting to think about using the flatworm exit stuff but have heard baad stories about it.

 

[ben westgate]

hey luke33, what kind of baad stories?

 

[luke33]

Well there's a few different kind, the red one's will eat your corals, the one's i have that are supposedly reef safe or harmless may cover my corals and basically keep them from getting light. I don't think there are any good flatworms in the aquarium senario.

 

[spanglish]

I'm in the "newly discovered" flatworms category

I'm afraid that flatworm exit will cause massive deaths/ammonia.
