how much salifert flatworm exit to use

[petemichelle]

I've purchased salifert flatworm exit to use against my war against zoa eating nudi branches. How much to use? the recommended dosage on the instruction? double? how long to leave in? water change after? what percentage water change? first time using, so please be very specific, thanks for the help...

the instructions say reef safe, does that include all invertebrates? fauna like pods and worms? shrimps?
also, I bought a 6 line wrasse to help eat them, will he eat the eggs as well?

It will not work very well on zoa eating nudis. It's designed mainly for flatworms and if you have any of those you need to follow the instructions EXACTLY as given or you can crash your tank.

I just suck the nudis out. I don't like to nuke it. But follow the instructions. @ReeferEric did it recently for flatworms maybe he can help

Yeah, the flatworm exit does not work on nudies. Best way is to manual look over and stay on top of them. They don't reproduce as quick as you think, get the big ones and you'll be good.

In any case, if you use it then run carbon after to clean it up.

I have found Flat Worm Exit to work very well on zoanthid eating nudibranchs.
I have been using it for years.
While it works on the nudibranchs, it does not work on the eggs.
