Flatworm eating fish.

So I read damsels and leopard wrasse eat flatworms but I reckon these eat smaller type of flatworms like AEFW?

Would they eat the larger polyclad worms too?

What is the tank size? The smaller Halichoeres will do the trick if it’s at least 3’ long.

My tank is 5,2 long I can house the larger wrasses too.

Stick a couple different Halichoeres species in the tank. They should clean up the flatties quite fast.

Do you have experience with polyclad flatworms and wrasses eating them? Or was it other types of flatworms?

I’ve found them to eat pretty much any kind of flatworm. I recommend giving them a try.

I thought when I saw the title of this thread that a flatworm was eating your fish!

I have a Melanurus wrasse that keeps planaria out of my display but I’m skeptical that he would/could eat a polyclad flatworm. At least not full size adults.
