I was told that I have red Planaria in my tank. I have a leopard wrasse and a yellow wrasse as I was told they eat them. But they haven’t really made a dent. I have read about using flatworm exit. However I’m scared to even try that because they release toxins and I don’t want something to happen to my fish. So I didn’t know if anyone had thoughts or ideas. Thanks in advance.
 
Flatworm exit is "safe" as long as you follow the directions.

I didn't follow them, and did a 3rd dose and lost a lot of zoas and some anacroporas. If I would have stopped at the 2nd dose, everything would have been fine. I did get rid of every single ghost flatworm and red planaria in my tank though!

Just follow the directions to a "T"!
