Thanks everyone. I’ve only seen one so far. Been staking the tank out and haven’t found another one. I love 6 line wrasses and my LFS has lots of them for cheap. Should I adopt one?
I would keep an eye out because they multiply fast. And before you know it they will be all in your tank. The first time I seen them in my tank I thought it just some fish waste on sand bed. Then I realized I had alot. They come out more when lights are on too.

And also I bought melenarus wrasse to keep flatworms in control but he can't eat enough to keep in control.
They really small. So I planned on doing flatworm exit today. The first time I done it they were gone. And it was great with no effects on sps or shrimp. But I guess the eggs hatched. I will let you know how it goes the second round.

Flatworm exit work great again. Just finished up water change. And everything is doing great. Just remember if you see a few you have probably 5x that many. The treatment works great just follow directions and it will be good results.

After I took the pic, that dude bailed. And to be honest, I couldn’t even see it with my own eyes. It took my iPhone camera zoomed in at max to even see it. I recommend using your phone camera to look around at your tank. You’d be surprised.
Do it all the time!
