Yellow Wrasse

Anybody have luck with these? I have a pretty bad flatworm infestation, and picked one up last night. Hoping it helps.....

No I haven't just the wrasse as a recommendation from the LFS. They also said I could siphon them out with airline tubing.

Salifert makes a flat worm exit

And it works great if done properly

from what i understand its hit and miss with the wrasse but the flatworm exit is a win everytime if done correct as dsmack mentioned.

I have used FW exit, it does work. I ended up, pulling most of my live rock out and cooking it for a week, dipping all my corals and removing the plugs, then putting some on new plugs and what not's. I upgraded to a new tank, got a bunch more rock and transferred over. I also added several wrasses including a Sri Lanka Yellow wrasse, six line, and a Pinstriped Wrasse. If any made the trip over they didn't get established.

After my first attempt at FW-exit in my old system I still had a few in my system, I sucked them out with hose but never seemed to get them all, plus they seem to reproduce like crazy.

Thanks for the info guys. I'll check out the flatworm exit. Anybody know if I can get it locally? So far wrasse seems to be picking all over the live rock. Just hope it's flatworms he's picking at. He's kind of shy so we will see if he warms up to his new home.

Lfs should have it in stock. Also dont be scared to treat more than once
