[Shawnts106]

Can anyone Id. this Flatworm for me... I am under the impression that it eats Snails, or is not reef safe... this came as a hitchiker, and I belive they may be present in my aquarium.

Eats snails. It's a bad one.

Oh crap! I knew it! errrr... so what gets rid of these? How can I kill them? Does flatworm exit kill them?

Natural Preditors?

Whats the Genus/Species on this one?

I saw one of those (or similar) that was sitting on top of some ricordia digesting them.

Looks like the one Marc at melevsreef has posted as predatory towards clams.

after looking at it again, it definitely is a predatory flatworm. probably eats snails or tridacna clams.

Weird... I have two Croceas, with no problems, one I have had for 2-3years...

I also have Ricordias, and they are all fine...

possibly a six line wrasse can do the job but if you have smaller fish it might pick on them.
