Their so small, and mostly clear, i cant get a better picture, that one was through a magnafying glass. And i cant see the head myself looking though it either, are some flatworms less trouble then others, i was reading about red or brown ones but these are clearish or white

Blueyota For getting rid of them it sounds like this levamisole stuff works for treating your whole tank. If you enter levamisole in the search option on here you can see other peoples results,

I was wondering. After alot of reading it sounds like treating the tank with levamisole will be my best bet and cheapest to get rid of them all. If anyone on here has used this methode on the hole tank, can you tell me if it will kill my saddle carpet anemone? I read everything from softies to snails all seem to recover from the treatments, but i havnt found anyone say anything about a anemone. Any advice on that

When i googled flatworms that was what i was reading, that six line wrass and their were other fish as well that ate them, but i read if you have alot of flatworms that they may not get them all because they dont eat the eggs so i think it depends on the severaty of them. I think what you have is some type of nudibranch. Mine are smooth on top. Theirs different types of flatworm but i think cuz yous is bumpy on top its more likely a nudibranch. So it might be different fish that eat them???

well if it is nudibranch they are spesific feeders and if they do not have what the eat in the tank they die. some eat algea and other corals and so on some eat atapia. So if they are nudibranch you will have to find out what they eat and move it out of your tank. Easiest and safest way to get rid of nudibranch's that is I guess. If it is flat worms read up on them on here there are quite afew post about it on here.

Best to remove them or glue them with frag glue to seal them and the eggs in. Monti eating nudies are white and zoo eating nudies are brown. Both are bad and hard to eradicate. To the best of my knowledge the red flatworms multiply by division not from eggs. They go though cycles from a few to thousands. Thats why you can use the treatment. Just be sure to remove as many as you can first. I am not sure about the nem I don't like using chemical stuff like that on my tank as i find it hard to believe it will only kill one thing.
