The sheer thought of it

[jonnywater]

So I have it narrowed down to the fact that these things are flatworms in my tank (with the help of the board memebers of course). These worms are disgusting vile little beasts. And they keep coming and coming and coming. Now a wrasse is completely out of the question. I already have that basslet and dont want to sit here and pray that my pods keep mating in order to supply both of these animals with sufficient nutrition (or what was the point of getting the fish in the first place). I also do not want to use ANY chemicals unless it guarantees it wont hurt anything else in my tank without a massive water change. That just does not appeal to me. Any opinions would be greatly appreciated.

You might try this:

Otherwise, a lot of folks recommend "Flatworm exit". This does require water changes and charcoal filtration due to the toxins released by the dying flatworms.
Good luck!

I was either looking at that or MAYBE a six line. These things are just all over the place in my tank. It's getting out of control. Also I have WAY to many corals and fish that were on the expensive end to let it ride on the fact that a partial water change and charcoal filtration will possibly do it. I am looking around for other methods. I just dont want the six line and black cap basslet to send eachother into starvation because they clear the tank of all they eat. Then again it MIGHT be a good thing because I have about 400 pods on my glass right now.

You may return the fish for store credit after the deed is done. They would be mercenary fishes. A hit squad, if you will. :thinking:

I guess that I am looking at the six line and scarlet pin stripe. The rest seem to require a "tight fitting lid" or are reef compatible with caution. I just dont want it messing with my black cap basslet. Those things are pretty hard to come by and especially at the price that I paid for it.
