something that eats red worms!!!

[fresh]

Hi all,

I have a 72gal reef tank with 100lbs of lr and 4" of dsp. I have a few red flat worms that I would like to get rid of. Any experiences with an animal that eats them? I don't want to add that flat-worm-exit stuff.

I only have 2 clowns, 1 chromis and a tang in there, so space is not an issue.

Thanks

In my old seahorse tank, I added a leopard wrasse & it ate up all the flatworms in less than a week. Supposedly the green psychadelic mandarin goby is also a flatworm eater, but I have no experience with one of those.

green mandarin and sixline wrasse combo worked for me

Had a friend that adtually had squamippinis anthia feasting on his! that is one of the weirdest things I have seen. (note that these anthias were .5 inch to 1 inch in size and in a 340 gallon tank.

I had them in a nano. After I squished some on the glass they started to disappear. Although I never saw them being eaten I think my Royal Gramma was doing it. I'm pretty sure it wasn't my clown.

Can't go wrong with a wrasse.

Our Orchid Dottyback wipedout 99% 0f the worms in the tank. The only ones left are in the fuge.

Green spotted or Psychadelic.

For most of you who have suggested that your fish took care of the problem, did you actually see the fish eat them, or is this just speculation?

These worms are also known to appear and disappear with out predators in the tank, so that's gotta make you think about what really works.
