flat worms...

[fish2morow]

any information on natural removal of flat worms? any critters known to keep them in check?
Any help would be great!

I think the Velvet Nudibranch.

IMO avoid trying to find a natural predator and purchase some Salifert Flatworm exit. Catch them early before the population becomes overwhelming.

thanks for the help everyone!
Salifert "exit" seems to be the way to go!

As for fish, most wrasse will eat them.

DavyB,
From what I have learned here they are not bad, they just reproduce rapidly and cover everything, killing corals, etc...

Check with waterfaller on the Velvet Nudi, she got one just for this purpose.
Many have told me the Lepard Wrasse is a real flatworm go getter. My 6 line didn't make a dent in them.
As kip stated the toxin is a real problem, as long as you have them running carbon 24/7 might be a consideration for you.
