Had a rust brown flatworm break out in a small QT tank. I added two emerald crab, a Pepermint shrimp, limpets , few snails and hermits. I have been sucking the flatworms out but they kept coming back but noticed today not many are left. I’m thinking the emeralds and peppermint have put a dent into the flatworm population. I just wished they would eat Calimorphs ....

Salifert Flatworm eXit​

Worms become toxic when the die, so great population has been decreased. IMO, QT should be eradicated of pests like flatworms esp when so easy to do

I understand that. I don't believe a bunch have died that poisoned the tank.... I have been syphoning them out occasionally and have flatworm RX but have chose not to use it yet. Since I have added the two Emeralds and the Peppermint just last week I have noticed far less flatworms to syphon out. This small QT tank I have several anemones and other critters on the LR so I'm not too concerned the FW will reach plaque proportions. There is also a Ball Anemone on the LR and Im experimenting on how to kill these. Any advice on Ball Anemones?
