Flatworm ID and advice

[kalarr]

I found these bugs on my glass and looked into the lionfishlair post to try to figure out what they are. They look like brown flatworms. Should I use the flatworm exit now before they get out of control?

You could try a wrasse. A yellow coris will have a feast. I currently have a blue star leopard wrasse that hunts for them all day. You can also siphon them out. I made my FW siphon out of rigid and regular airline tubing. I run it in to a fine mesh bag in the sump to conserve water.

IMO, you should avoid FWE unless it gets bad

+1 don't use chemicals in your tank unless you have too! They are flatworms, I had an outbreak in my nano a few months ago I purchased a six line and they are hit and miss with eating flat worms. I then purchased a springers damsel they aren't as aggressive as other damsels, and within 36 hours I couldn't find a single one in my tank.

I had an infestations in my quarantine tank (which at the time had morphed into another mini reef tank) and I had good luck eradicating them with Flatworm Exit, used at twice the recommended dosage, three treatments 4 days apart. You need to make a 25% water change after each treatment and run new carbon afterwards.
