    Iridis wrasse worked here.
    Had some of the white ones in the cube for a while which I've heard are good and eat the brown ones?
    Sadly they died when we did the tank swap.
    Need any Graphic Design, Advertising or Printing??

    not mega low but yes lower than the dt. Thing is I've never even seen one flatworm in the dt so the wrasses must do something. Hundreds in the sump, none in the display, at all

    I've got dusky wrasse,nebulous and a richmonds.

    Was going to buy an iridis but somehow bought a foxface instead

    I might be missing something here, but i have had flatworm before- luckily only only on one soft coral so i freshwater dipped it (ro/di water at same temp as tank)and hundreds of the things came off. Never seen any since
    It was a coral that i had bought from lfs and only added it the day previous... so believe that i got them all that day. I think they die instantly from osmotic shock - i.e. no salinity!

    I have a 6 line that hasn't touched them and also had a velvet nudi that went to nibble some off my lobo - and the lobo ate it.

    Talk about bad luck!
