what is best eater for flatworm?

A clients tank of mine had a massive infestation and i mean MASSIVE. We put in a Hoevens wrasse(Halichoeres melanurus) and in no time the tank was flatworm free.

I've read that 6 line wrasses will eat them.

Yellow Corris Wrasse.

I wouldn't bother with a 6 line there's better options out there. So many of them are to aggressive... But that's just my 2 cents

Radiant wrasse or Melanarus wrasse, clean em up in no time.

Most wrasses from the Halichoeres genus will get the job done.

Depends on the flatworm. Aefw, nothing. Just other flatworms, 6 line, yellow coris....etc

I'd go with a ycw over a 6 line due to aggression.

I have to disagree. They hunt worms, there's no reason that they wouldn't want an AEFW.
