They have not yet traveled to show tank. How can we get rid of these flat worms. Anything eat them?
 
I would recommend a wrasse be put in if you have room for fish. They will get most of them. Flatworm Exit would be a nice compliment. :)
 
Flatworm Exit!!!!! By far the quickest and most effective. Especially if you have a large outbreak. I've tried wrasse's but if you feed your tank they will eat the food and not the flatworms. Be sure to turn off the skimmer and use charcoal.
 
I have heard numerous people say that yellow damsels eat flatworms, but I have not tried them yet so I wouldn't know for sure
 
I put one wrasse in a 300 system and all flatworms were gone shortly there after - never ran flatworm exit. These were the small clear ones, not the large dark brown ones...
 
Flatworm Exit made by Sailfert is the best. Quick and easy like the others say. Just don't use the BlueLife brand i have used that before and the flatworms came back after multiple treatments. I have never had a problem with Sailfert's Flatworm Exit but you want to follow the directions really good and don't skip a step. Especially the sucking them out part. Use airline tubing, that works best.
 
We had a problem with flatworms in our frag tank and we got a 6 line wrasse and he took care of the problem quickly.
