Was scared to hear that. I've noticed my frogspawn not doing so hot lately...

If anyone has anyone experience with this type of flatworm please let me know! I heard the "3 tail" flatworm is the one to worry about. The ones I see have 2. But not to sure of the credibility on that.

They're all bad IMO. Just get yourself some airline tubing and siphon them out as you see them. Try and dedicate maybe 5 minutes each day for about a week to do this and you'll probably make a significant dent in the population. GL.

I had ones that were quite similar to yours. I started with airline tubing but that just doesn't work well on a large system. Then a green coris wrasse. It ate quite a few, but they were still a problem. Then it got a liking for cleaner shrimp. Gotta go! Then I went to Flatworm Exit. It knocked them back on their heels, but still didn't get rid of them even at 1.5x dosage x 3 runs of it. Then I got a couple Blue Star Leopard Wrasses. They were skinny when I got them. That didn't last long. They are now fat and happy, and there is not a flatworm to be seen anywhere.
