dining on flatworms

rwrussom · 01/15/2008, 05:31 PM

I have a wonderful collection of small red / brown flatworms that I would like to rid my tank of. These do not seem to cause any harm but are unsitely. I am looking for suggestions for reef safe preditors. I have had a target manderine and a six line wrasse suggested.

I just used the Sailfert flatworm exit and it wiped nearly all of them out. They will eventually harm your corals because they block the light.

My sixline has been eating flatworms like crazy and once a week when I do a waterchange, I siphon the larger ones out with some airline tubing and a foot long piece of rigid tubing
