Reef safe flatworm eating machine

Thread title.. I need one

Something that won't eat my little francois (cleaner shrimp)

Clowns haul him around enough. However I have a flatworm issue and I want some type of wrasse anyway.

I don't really want to go the chemical route - too many stories of scary nukings and my tank is hard to get at it vaccuum the little buggers.

I had the same problem and bought a yellow and six line wrasse and after 2 weeks no more flat worms.

Six line wrasse cleaned up my flatworms.
But they are an aggressive fish and would bully my clowns.
He went carpet surfing while my daughter was looking after my tank 4 yrs ago, so I don't have to worry anymore

Is your tank big enough for a mandarin? When my tank was sitting fallow for 8 weeks I had a flatworm breakout but after putting my mandarin back in the tank, all the flatworms disappeared again

Personally I'd get a blue velvet nudibranch. Will make short work of you flat worms. I had one that cleared my tank of them in less than a week.Won't touch anything else as all they each are flatworms.

Canary wrasses are nice and usually eat flatworms.. A radiant wrasse (close relative to the canary) might be a good choice as well..

Red scooter Benny eats flatworms as well
