Salifert Flatworm Exit...

[Marlin65]

I got one of those to take care of my flat worms. Did a great job, but they are only good to eradicate most not all flatworms when you have thousands.
I still have a few left and my Headshield is long gone, but my Coris wrasse is finishing off what is left.
If you don't have too many just get a Wrasse to take care of them.
I read that usually they stay in populations of only a few, but can multiply to problem prepositions if conditions are right for them.
So having some is not really a problem as long as they are the none acro eating type.
I try to stay away from any chemicals as I believe that it is not as selective as just killing off what is says on the box.

+1 The same thing I was about to say. The nudibranch requires A LOT of flatworms and will quickly eat 95% of them and then starve if its not moved to another flatworm infested system. Try a yellow Coris wrasse if you only have a few, one worked very well for me in my 50gal.
