Yup, add a wrasse, I had a 6 line but it wasn't interested in them, got a Coris held off feeding for a few days to force it to eat the flat worms and its been chowing down on them real good. I also siphon with every water change and I've definitely noticed a huge decrease in the numbers.

Yea, I was a dumbass a few days ago and hastily added some Chemi-clean to my system to help with some red slime, not knowing that I needed to shut the skimmer off (DOH!!!) So my tank has been skimmerless for 2 days, I'm prepping for a decent water change today, so hoping to siphon out as much of these flatworms as possible, and going to cut back on feeding (except for nori) in hopes of "forcing" the wrasse I picked up to get to work.

Time for WAR!!!

Thanks for the comments on the pics.. They are just sorta 2nd nature to me these days.

I added a mystery wrasse did nothing, no interest at all (very nice to look at though lol). Added peppermint shrimp, they just disappeared. I have added a dragon goby that cleans the sub strait constantly and has cleaned up the sand very nicely. However there are still fw in the tank, its not near as bad as it used to be. I have also dropped my temp to 78 and an keeping my alk high, 11-12. with regular weekly water changes things have come around. good luck and stay away from flat worm exit lost my chevron tang to it, and I followed the instructions to the T. (ie. siphoned all could see, done 25% water change immediately after treating with flatworm exit, and ran carbon!). those buggers are extremely toxic when they die. I can honestly say is was due to poor husbandry practices that I got the problem in the first plc. I was just to busy with work and new baby I had no time. Just have to stay on top your reef keeping schedule.
