Hi R2R. I've had a large infestation of red planaria for the last month or so. Since I have a fluval evo, I cannot add a melenarus wrasse, and I really don't want to have to use FWE to take care of what is mostly an eyesore. I've also heard about blue velvet nudibranch, but I can't find any for less than 30 each plus shipping. I was wondering what natural predator I could add to take care of my problem; I read about sixline wrasses, but a lot of people say they don't actively hunt for FW. I also read about spotted mandarins, pink streaked wrasses (a bit out of budget), and damsels. Please help!

Chrysiptera damsels, springeri in particular eat them. I had a blue stripe pipefish in a little tank and he decimated them. Stay away from FWE. I had to keep increasing the dosage and it never got rid of all of them, plus it killed all my stomatella.

One springeri would probably be fine as long as your clown isn't too territorial.
