Flatworms (AKA red planaria) are harmless but unsightly and are killed by salifert flatworm exit....unfortunately when killed flatworms release toxins that can seriously damage your tank inhabitants so it's a good idea to siphon as many as possible out before using "exit"

Thanks for the clarification Marie. Wasn't sure if red planaria or AEFW were the red bugs one hears about. These planaria sure do multiply fast. Last week I saw nothing. This week patches all over.

Thanks to all for their input. I'll post my results tomorrow. I'll be looking for a yellow or melanarus wrasse as well. I have a Christmas Tree wrasse but that didn't seem to help.
