Nudi, aefw, red bug, flatworm. pest / nightmare I just trying to stock with helpful fish, if one get by a dip he could save me

Oh, okay...I thought you wanted something to eat an SPS. It's early, for me, and I haven't had enough coffee yet.

I had flatworms. I never did anything like using a turkey baster or Flatworm Exit. I bought a sixline wrasse and he went to town on them. I know they're not totally erradicated, but my sps show no signs of stress from the pest anymore and my sixline is fat. I don't know if all sixlines will eat the pest, but mine sure does. At times I'll see him pecking at the base of an sps for an extended period of time. No damage is ever done to the coral.

My maroon clownfish actually started following the sixline around and picking on some of the leftovers that may be dislodged and floating.

Bump ^ for help

wrasses are the way to go for sure. Malunarus wrasse is a good one for it too. My solorensis(sp?) loves aefw.

dragonfaced pipefish love to eat red bugs

bought two dragons, they just ignored all the redbugs, even the ones crawling right in front of their faces. decided to buy one more and bought the biggest pipefish i could find and noticed he has been eating some of them. the two others disappeared though. never saw them ever again.

Yellow coris and sixline wrasses have been known to eat some types of reef pests.
