Flat worms and aiptasia….

[rja]

Hey all,
I have a 75DT tank that is starting to get some aiptasia, red flat worms, and bubble algae.

I got some emeralds for the bubble algae hoping they put some work in.

As far as aiptasia, should I get a couple peppermint shrimp?

For the planaria, I have been told the ORA yellow damsels are really good also the springeri and pretty much any wrasse. So can you help draw out some options for me?

I can guarantee the following:
someone will claim peppermint shrimp don’t work (and some will claim otherwise)
beringia nudis are the ticket (with deep wallets and good luck, but yes )
and emerald crabs: mixed bag …
my take:
- try the shrimp and keep at it with FAptasia and a syringe
- emerald crabs are hit and miss IMO and suspects in reef murders
- not all flatworms are necessarily a menace but are better dead than alive (Flatworm exit is cheap)
- bubble algae can be physically removed ( depending) and kept in check ( usually) ….
