They may eat smaller worms like little red planaria. It's mainly because they hunt little things like copepods and amphipods.

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

My yellow coris actively hunts around the base of my SPS everyday. It also waited near the turkey baster when I had a small AEFW infection and ate any that were blown off. It could tell the difference from detritus and the worms real quick. I haven't found anymore AEFW in over a month and did not have to resort to dipping or chemicals.

Coral banded shrimp love them

Melanarus wrasse, yellow coris wrasse or springer damsels any day over a sixline wrasse. In my experience six line are just too aggressiv.

Blue velvet nudibranchs. They feed exclusively on flatworms. I used one once and man could that thing eat. Very interesting to watch as well.

Casella atromarginata​
