Flatworms... ewwww....

That is certainly not my experience. Recommended dosage certainly killed a lot of them in my case. I was impressed that it really seems very targeted. I saw one Eunicid worm in distress, and I'm a bit worried about some starfish...other than that, there seems to be no side effects to the treatment.

I'm waiting another week to see if I can see any alive. Robw's experience is very concerning. I don't want to transfer any into the new tank.

The idea is to preserve life on/in the rocks while eliminating the flatworms. Aggressive treatment of the live rock is not an option.

The good thing is that they are finally gone. (knock on wood)

Well, I'm going to tell my wife that I NEED a wrasse - first. Tehehe. FEW seems to get mixed reviews. If I can find it, I'll give it a go - if not, I'll stick to manual removal.

The tank is a 55 gal and reasonably stocked.

Thanks again for all your suggestions!
