Flat Worms

[saltydog]

Does anything eat them? If not, what is the best way to get rid of them?
Thanks, Salty

It depends on the species of Flatworm. Chelidonura varians will eat Convotriloba.

Salifert's flatworm exit works great and can be used in a reef.

They are my arch nemisis

too. Flat worm exit works great just be careful and follow directions. I was told six line wrasses eat them but I think that was a lie. I got one and didn't help.

I had a 6-line for a while before it jumped ship =(. Great fish and never have had a problem with flatworms.

If you can nudibranch proof your tank these guy's work really well. Here is one I had doing his job.

 

[lamaface]

but what would the nudibranch eat other than the worms and would it survive once all the worms are eaten?

They usually find a way to die long before the flatworms are eaten.
