Hello Fellow Reefers.
I have a 90 Gal reef tank and sad to say that I have a flatworm infestation issue. Thought just dipping my corals in cleaner is enuh but I guess not. Thinking about getting a sixline wrasse and using flatworm exit. Any thoughts or suggestions......

Siphon out as many as you can and use flatworm exit at half dose…do a water change and repeat again if they still present. Ive had success doing it this way before.

How bad is the infestation? Any pics of the flatworms? Your approach might change based on the severity and type.

I watched a Youtube video recently and Chris from ACI aquaculture claims that he uses Peppermint shrimp to rid his SPS imports of flatworms. First time that I have heard of this approach but may be something for you to look into.

The best method of removal depends on what type they are. Do you have any pictures or idea about which type they might be? That will help us give you a good idea on how to treat them.
