no more flat worms...
well i just thoughti would post this because there are lots of problems with flat worms in peoples tanks.
i bought a fairy wrasse about a month ago before i went away to toronto for 3 weeks.. my sister was looking after my tank and kept it alive.... the fish is a madator wrasse/ whip-fin wrasse  as you can see in the pic there are flat worms.. i was looking in the tank today and noticed it was very .. clean.. and there is not a single flat worm... anyhow i know people have troubles with these pests .. this fish is reef safe and very colourful... cheers dave

I am currently battling what looks like the same flat worms you have, syphoning seems to help, but it doesnt take long for them to re-populate. I would like to fnid a natural predator to these annoying worms... thanks for the info.

I've got a tailspot wrasse who hunts constantly. I used to have a flatworm problem but after I'd had the wrasse for about 2 weeks I couldn't find one flatworm in the main tank. I still had a few in the overflow (man I wish he had fit in there
 ). Eventually I had no flatworms at all and have been flatworm free for almost 3 years now. Not the reason I bought the wrasse, but certainly a nice little side bonus
