Hello everyone! I have a case of planaria flatworms in my Hammer and Octo garden, and I also have a red serpent star (along with other sea stars and a cleaner shrimp). Has anyone experience negative effect from Flatworm Exit and serpent stars, even when running carbon post-treatment??


Thanks!

I am also interested. I emailed Salifert to ask if the Planaria Toxin is only toxic to Fish, or can also kill other critters, like snails, hermits, and more importantly copepods and other living organisms. One of my systems has no fish, but it does have corals, and the typical tiny critters that keep our tanks healthy. If only toxic to fish then I wouldn't mind running the treatment longer to make sure I kill all planaria in the tank with no fish.
