Velvet Nudibranch - How many flatworms?

[John Minnix]

All,

My red planaria flatworms have gone out of control despite suctioning them out with weekly water changes. I picked up a velvet nudibranch online. My understanding is that these guys just eat red flatworms.

Any idea how many I can expect it to eat per day? I've got plenty! I'm hoping this guy can make a serious difference.

Depending on your infestation I do not know if nudibranch will reduce your threshold to a manageable level.i hope you have good success.
I just had a huge infestation as well. I treated with flatworm exit . I siphoned for 3 days before treatment . In 5 minutes after administering I noticed I had 1000 times more flatworms than I saw! It was crazy.
I treated a total of 3 times every 3 days to overlap there hatching cycle and still had a few stragglers so I purchased a young adult melanurus wrasse and he dispatched the remainder in record time and my tank has been great with my melanurus cleaning house...
