flatworm all over the tank

[moga]

i have flatworm and want to get rid of it..

i use flatworm exit, and thought i eliminated all..but it came back..

it don't do anything bad to some of sps...

i bought six line wrasse but they seem to not interested in flatworm at all...

any other suggestion?

what kind of flatworms? red, brown?

back in the day i had them....ugh...they become an eye sore after awhile.

What worked for me.....FW like the LIGHT.

Turn you lights off early...COMPLETE darkness....place a flashlight in the corner of the tank and wait about 10 min, all the flatworms will start to congregate to the light...siphon as many as you can and redo treatment. worked quite well for me.

HTH.

I've been told that the Melenarus wrasse eats flatworms.

 

[Hurley12]

Yup melanarus do eat them

My LFS had flatworms everywhere in 2 of thier tanks. They put a yellow coris wrasse in one and a yellowtail tamarin wrasse and they ate every flatworm visible within days.

There is a black nudi with electric blue lines that eats them.

I had them in my prop system. I no longer do. The only thing I've done differently is add a pair of scooter blennies about 5 mos. ago. They are always picking around the tank for any type of worm or pod.

Yellow coris wrasse is every reef tanks best friend IMO
