Flat worms help!

I spotted about 10 small flat worms around my powerhead! I must not of dipped a new coral. I got them out I know what a nightmare they can be any suggestions?

Hopefully you got them all. The chemical additives don't do much IMO. I had the best luck with a yellow coris wrasse when I had an issue. But like I said, hopefully you got them out quick enough.

Thank you!

Melanarus Wrasses work really well for flat worms as well.

+1 and a sixline wrasse works well also

yellow wrasse is the best to bet any flat worms IMO ..

Just from my experience my yellow coris is useless against flatworms.

Velvet nudibranch work great but once you have no more flatworms they will starve.

I disagree 100 %!! i had a yellow coris/canary wrasse(not a coris at all).and it knocked out a whole infestation of planaria flatworms. when i first introduced it into the tank it hunted them do till they were gone!!
