Flatworm eating fish
I have a 90 gallon set up with a 29 gallon sump and have been battling with flat worms for about 2 months now. I added a Flame Angel to the set up 2 weeks ago and noticed lastnight that my flatworm population has reduced significantly. I spent about an hour quietly watching the tank and noticed the Flame Angel eating every flatworm in sight
 . I am quite happy about this but a little surprised as I had not heard or read anything about Flame Angels eating these so I was curious if anyone else has seen or heard of this before.Thanks Shane

A few months ago I spotted a few flatworms and freaked out. I was also battling zoo eating nudibranches a the time
 Anyway, I have not seen any flatworms or nudis since I got a flame angel a couple of months ago! I almost returned him because he was picking at all my corals! I later discovered that he actually wasn't bothering any of the corals, he was just hunting for food and was eating something else. He still pecks at them but I have not seen any damage to any of my colonies or frags.Last edited by kien; 08-01-2009 at 05:54 AM.

I also heard from a lfs that a Spotted Mandarin will eat flatworms. I don't know if this is true or not. Maybe someone else can comment on this.
