To be more specific my tank has flat worms. I need some recommendations for a fish to eradicate them. I would prefer a wrasse but I have no sand. I would love to have a mystery wrasse if possible or perhaps a possum wrasse.

Thanks

David
 
My little Springeri damsel is making a dent in my ghost flatworms. I still suck out what I can since the damsel would rather eat the pods, but I've seen him eat a few of the flatworms.
 
Will need a positive id on the worms. Please post a pic or two under white light intensity
 
Hopefully this is sufficient?

Coincidently my LFS has the same small round burnt orange things in his tank that he calls flat worms
 
OK, I caught two of them and placed them under a magnifying glass. Hopefully this works

I added a melanurus to help thin my flatworm pupulation. It sleeps in a clay pot full of sand. This was in observation. When I brought it up tonthe display I just picked up the pot while it was sleeping and set it in the corner of the new tank which is bare bottom.
 
My tank has bristle worms. I added a big arrow crab but that dummy died from hunger. I had to hunt for it. Later on it refuses the bristle worm.
