no one?

Yes they are similar. I forget what they are called. Get rid of them by doing a FW dip or iodine dip.

can i use flatworm exit in the display. The rock that the yumas are on is at the bottom of the rockwork and not going to pull everything out for it.

When I had flat worms I first noticed them on my mushrooms. I used Flat Worm Exit and got a six line wrasse. Yes you can use it in the tank it is 100% reef safe I have used it a few times on a few different tanks with no problems. Has not effected corals of pods. Just follow the directions to a tee. Yes you must use the carbon as directed and yes you must do the water change. Its is important to do this due to the flat worms releasing toxins when they die.
