Flatworm eater

[OutsideBrian]

I have started noticing some flatworms and want something that will eat them. So far a pink streaked wrasse is at the top of my list, just haven’t seen any at my lfs’
Any other reef safe recommendations?
The tank is only a few months old, I have a royal gramma, Midas blenny, blue damsel and black clown goby. I also plan on a naked clown and another goby/blenny/dragonet or two down the road.

Sapphire damsels took care of them for me but that probably won't work if you've already got a damsel

I wouldn’t mind swapping out the blue for the sapphire but that would require finding a sapphire and catching the blue

Hoevens or dusky will eat them. Latter hard to find and gets big though.

Not bad, might have to keep an eye on my cleaner shrimp?

Keep the ideas flowing

Whatever you end up getting keep in mind there are no guarantees any will work. I've tried Hoevens, Springeri damsels, pink streaked and yellow coris and none have had a taste for my flatworms. I'm tempted to try a six line but really don't want to risk the aggression. Get a fish you would be happy with even it they don't help with flatworms.

My damsels weren't interested until I blew the worms off the rocks a few times. They eventually learned how to find them. I haven't seen one in a long time now
