Flatworm help

[Mofish]

Can someone help me identify this flatworm?
What does it eat? (i.e., acros, softies, detrites)?
Whats the best way to treat it?

I tried FWE and killed many but not all of them. Is there a thread someone can point me to?

Thanks in advancehttp://folk.uio.no/vidarj/Clip0230.jpg

Mofish, it's hard to tell by that picture what type it is. If FWE didn't take them all out, try a second dose. If you don't want to try again using chemicals, and if you like wrasses, a six line wrasse will sometimes eat them. This of course only works if your tank is not over run with the little pests.

I had a serious issue with the red ones, My live rocks looked like they were moving I had so many. I started blasting them with a turkey baster and they they would go over the overflow into the fiber filter. I started doing this a few times a week while changing the filter each time after about one hour and now there are only a few. Once a week now just to keep them in check.

I hate chemicals.

I also had an outbreak. I went and purchased a checkerboard wrasse and he keeps them in check. The only problem is, you have to starve him in order for him to go after them. I find that more water changes and spot removal (siphoning) also works well. They seem to like nutrient rich environments.

Thanks for the advice.

I'm trying to figure out what they eat so I can remove their food source if thats possible.

I think I might try getting a velvet nudibranch and give that a shot. I've also got a 6-line in QT right now too.

I'm also thinking of doing another FWE treatment, but wonder if it would actually help considering if they have eggs laying dormant it probably wont kill them all.

The problem doesn't seem too bad, only a few on the glass, and none that I can see on the rocks, but as you can see these buggers are super small and when I did the FWE teatment sun, I saw a bunch floating around that died, so I know their there.
