My tank was getting overrun with flatworms a few months ago, but I had a horrid experience with Flatworm Exit. However, it did get rid of most of the flatworms except for the ones stuck to my long tentacle plate coral. I tried sucking them off with a baster originally, but damaged some...

I just found a flat looking worm that is blackish with white spots. I managed to catch it with a turkey baster which is where I'm keeping it right now. I was wondering if anyone knows what this little guy is and if he is good or bad for my reef tank. I recently just acquired some macro algae...

Does any body have any idea how to get rid of flat worms without flatworm Rx? Will a mandarin dragonette eat them? Currently there is a 6-line wrass in there which is supposed to only eat flat worms...but too many flat worms and they reproduce rapidly. Does any one have any ideas how to...

i've noticed that i have a few flat worm looking things that i researched to be acoel flatworms. I wasn't too bothered about them as there was only a couple but where one of my mushrooms closed up because one of my clowns gets a bit aggressive when hosting in it, i saw loads of these worms on...

I got some live rock out of a reef tank and it has some flat worms on the rock. I have heard that you can dip them in Iodine and that will get rid of them. Is this true. The rock has a lot of coraline on it so I would like to use it. If this doesn't work I may just have to kill the rock and...

I have a bunch of these in my tank - what are they? They are approx. 2-4mm in length, blueish-black and they look like flatworms. They haven't bothered anyone I think, I have never really seen them on corals. Do I need to get rid of them and how...

These came off my frogspawn after I dipped in Coral Rx... They were on most of my new corals. If they are flatworms, I am considering treating the tank with flatworm eXit.

Ok, I just noticed that I seem to have an outbreak of red flat worms. Can I just leave them alone or should I take extreme action with somthing like flat worm exit? I have lots of corals and dont want to risk harming them unless I must. Any experience good or bad?

Well, I having been a little battling with red flat worms. All my other tanks I have always just got a fairy Wrasse and they took care of the problem. So I ordered two fairy wrasses. One was quit expensive. acclimated them for a two hours and put them in the tank. Kept the lights off for the...

Hi everyone. About 10 days ago I added my first corals, some mushrooms. I have had decent coralline growth, all my hitch-hiker corals were doing quite well, and my parameters seemed ok so I thought I'd give it a shot. For the first week there was no problems, they all seemed fine. Then all the...

Does anyone have any actual experience owning one of these? I have a 90gl with a flatworm issue and I'm interested in a natural predator to control them. I realise they only eat FWs and I was looking into raising FWs in a smaller tank just for the Blue velvet so it wouldn't starve down the road...
