To be more specific my tank has flat worms. I need some recommendations for a fish to eradicate them. I would prefer a wrasse but I have no sand. I would love to have a mystery wrasse if possible or perhaps a possum wrasse.

Thanks

My little Springeri damsel is making a dent in my ghost flatworms. I still suck out what I can since the damsel would rather eat the pods, but I've seen him eat a few of the flatworms.

Hopefully this is sufficient?

OK, I caught two of them and placed them under a magnifying glass. Hopefully this works

I added a melanurus to help thin my flatworm pupulation. It sleeps in a clay pot full of sand. This was in observation. When I brought it up tonthe display I just picked up the pot while it was sleeping and set it in the corner of the new tank which is bare bottom.

My tank has bristle worms. I added a big arrow crab but that dummy died from hunger. I had to hunt for it. Later on it refuses the bristle worm.
