I have what I believe are flatworms in my fuge and they "must" be in my DT but I cannot find any. They are small yellowish orange flat things with forked tails. They are all over the glass. I have a large amount of dragons breath and a healthy supply of pods I'd rather not kill. Do I use Flatworm Exit (I have not researched it yet) or add a melanaris wrasse to the fuge (I'd think he would eat all my pods too) or is there a better route. How bad are they?
 
If they are common flat worms which i think the forked tails are (I could be wrong on that point) they they are more of an eye sore than harmful. I have quite a few in my sump as well.
 
I had FW all over, I kept siphoning them and when I saw I am loosing the battle, used FWE. Killed my Strawberry Shortcake and one Anthias. Decided to give Target Manderin a try and haven't seen a single bugger in months. Manderin is nice and fat.
 
Melanrias wrasse will work on your flatworms. Yes it will eat pods also.

I treated my 11 year old tank with Flatworm exit. Over a period of 6 months, I treated it twice more at higher doses. I think the flatworms built up an immunity to Exit.
