See the redish/brown square/rectangular shapes on the rock? Those are flatworms... They usually multiply faster than rabbits..

Thanks Dave. I am looking for some height in my tank. What types of SPS would you recommend? Thanks!

^ Stags always give nice height. A nice A exquisita is always stellar. Are you making any headway with the flatworms?

I just picked up what I think is a nice A. tenuis from Colby, but I am waiting for the cash to do a nice order from IA. I don't know if the wrasse is making a dint on the flatworms so I am going to dose Flatworm Exit before it gets too bad. I will have some water made up and just do some heavy water changes for a couple days after the treatment.

they usually wont if the tank is large and the population is high enough ,they can only eat so many at a time and they breed fast , i would do the flatworm exit and then let the wrasses finish off whats left.

I did two separate siphon jobs on the tank to lower the flatworm population prior to dosing the tank with flatworm exit. I then dosed the FWE, turned the MP40's to a strong pulse mode and it took about 20 minutes until I could see the flatworms in distress. Once they were filling up the water column I cranked on the carbon reactor and then started netting out the floating flatworms with the largest fine mesh net I had. waited until the water was mostly clear and then did a 10% water change. All in all, three full days later the tank looks great! No negative side effects whatsoever. I'd recommend flatworm exit to anyone.
