Default Killing flatworms in live rock

good call christy,
as it is very tempting to buy a fish in hopes it will eat flatworms, the odds are against you. and tho you do hear the occassional success story, there are far more fish that do not live up to their owners expectations.

FWIW, i have heard that sometimes if you ride out the flatworm infestation they can dissappear on their own. i guess subtle changes in the tank environment providing a less than ideal home for them, can lead to their demise. tho i have yet to find documentation on what these enviromental parameters would be.

hope some of this info is useful in someway, if not to provide a little light reading for you guys...heheh i'm just ramblin! :D
