FINALLY...and now I don't need one...I have been waiting for over a year and a half for these and finally gave up, dipped all the rock, threw out all the sand and am starting that tank over again..they were out of control! And now, they get them in....argh...oh well, someone will be happy!

 Not my pic.... Yeah I've waited literally for years for these guys. I've tried dipping the rock and replacing sand in the past, I've also had my planaria colony crash and wipe out my seahorses (it was really rough, i'd had them for years). There must have been 1 that survived and now I have millions. But this nudi is actually sucking them up! I cant wait to be rid of them. To say the least I was very happy!

Will the nudies survive once the flatworms are gone? I thought I read that their diet pretty much consists of... flatworms.

Everything I have read indicates that once the flatworms are gone...the nudi's need to be shared with friend as they only eat FW....

yeah that's why i am of very mixed minds concerning these guys. On the one hand yeah they're great at eradication, but after that they're pretty much dead meat unless you shove it into someone else's hands... which certainly doesn't solve the problem.

Haha lots of flow in a seahorse/pipefish tank is a hard! I honestly tried pretty much everything except flatworm exit cus I was too scared. These guys were in plauge porportions... I mean.... my sand was no longer white. :S
These nudis should really not be brought in for decorative purposes, but if they can be kept alive with planaria then I'm all for it. I've heard they generally have short lifespans anyways.

Yeah true nudis have relatively short lifespans (dunno abut velvets in particular) but lets not pretend starvation isn't near inevitable. I dont mean to argue, just stating my opinion.
What kind of planarians do you have? My banana wrasse did wonders for eradicating the greenish brown ones with the medial red dot (the photosynthetic ones whose name escapes me).
