Flatworm plague

[REDNECK_REEFER]

still have flatworms. If i use flatworm exit will my six line starve? he doesn't seem interested in my foods.

Doubtful. My 6line is only vaguely interested in the foods I offer as well (he might chase down the occasional mysis). I think he's around 7 years old now, he's my oldest fish. I'd say he's finding something to eat. I would imagine yours will be fine too.

I used 2 scooter blennies to fix my flat worm problem.It only took 3 weeks . couldnt even find 1.that was in a 240gal.and put in a yellow coris wrass at the same time.Every tank should have 1 of those

Which? The scooter blennies or the yellow coris?

ditto

Plus I really LIKE my yellow wrasse, he's interesting to watch.

Agree with the yellow coris wrasse eliminating flat worms.

OK so i used flatworm exit and all my flatworms are dead. also i lost every pod in my tank, as well as all of my small brittle stars and stomatellos. my hermits and snails seem fine but all of my corals closed right up. no tissue loss but i havent seen my corals closed up like this since I first started. should i be worried? I did a 40g water change after treatment and i have a large bag of carbon in my filter bag. Also it kind of stinks around my tank now is that from the death of the flatworms or what?
Thanks again for the input!!

IME I have used the 6 line they are hit and miss. along with leopard wrasses too. my yellow was a go getter from the start wipping them out all the time. scooter blennies are a hit and a miss. but flat worm exit will wipe out hte flat worms. However, remember that once the flat worms are dead they will have the toxicans in their bodies that can kill other fish, I beleive that is what killed the chromis in doug tank they were eating what was floating around so BEWARE.

some of my SPS polyps are out today but not all of them. all my neon colors are gone my reef looks grey!! how long will it take for color and health to come back to my corals?
