First of all.... Eeeeek!! I've got t3h flatworms....

The thing is that they were only in my fuge none were in my Red Sea Max display...
My guess is that my mandarin pair kept the display clean of them...

So here's the question..... Should I keep the flatworms around as food or send them to hell.....

Also how did flatworm exit work for you? Is there something better?

Please share your experiences.
 
Toxic - I would probably jump on it as soon as possible...rather than let it become widespread. Here is a link with some really good info Melevsreef.com - Flatworms | How to eliminate them!

Thanks for the great article. So I guess keeping them around as food is not the best idea huh?
I'll probably wait a few more days that way the livestock would not be double stressed. Being moved yesterday and then adding flat worm exit
