Red Planaria[flatworms]
Triger,
My Six line was a fluke. Like most fish in this hobby no two are alike it seems. I didn't buy it with the sole reason of it eating flatworms. I bought it as I love the little guys. It just so happened that it does eat them in my case. I would say you could buy a dozen and have maybe half actually eat flatworms. Possibly only 1/4. I have heard most don't. It has taken months for them to all die off. But they have. I can't even find one now. but I stress.. That is in my case only. It is not the norm.
As for the others. I'd keep only one of the three. Look into which grow the largest and try to get one that will stay fairly small. That choice will be yours to make. Without a refugium I'd take all three back and set up some form of refugium or else somewhere in your tank that the fish can't get into but the pod's can grow. look up Pod piles on Reef central or reefs.org.
With the flatworms all I can say is stop feeding the tank. Period. Or cut back massively. OOmed is a chemical that you can get in the US for flatworms but I don't know that you can get it here. I don't think you can.
HTH
