Ridding Tank of Brown Flatworms

[Puff]

i got a baby wrasse today. he seems keen.

also got a bunch more hermits to get more feet on the rocks so the flatworms dont have the run of the liverock!

some gorilla crab i found before i left (and removed) had taken out all of my hermits...except maybe 1 or 2 of them.

i think that added to the flatworm's ability to reproduce with no harassment.

What kind of baby wrasse did you get?

I used flatworm exit aswell. It worked well but also killed my sea hares. This is what I blame for loosing all my fish, which chain reacted to kill some corals with the spike that came from that. To top it all off I never did get rid of all the flatworms. However they overpopulated themselves and used up whatever nutriant that they live on and tapered down to decent numbers. Now I don't bother them and they don't bother me. Although since I added a velvit nudi, but I think my sixline killed it.

I am also looking for a non-chemical cure. Otherwise they can stay there.
