I started to notice flatwroms all over my tank. What’s a good Predator to get rid of these guys. ? Last option is flatworm exit . Risking . My current livestock inside tank is 2 pair black ice clownfish

Yellow corris wrasse
Melenarus wrasse
2 great options. Just added a yellow corris for the same problem and he’s fattening up nicely.

I used flatworm exit and i was great no ill effects. But i still have some flatworms so i bought a malenerus wrasse and he stays fat from eating flatworms. and i have been siphoning them out and hopefully the wrasse will get caught up with them. And they multiply fast.

Also target or spotted mandrin gobys do a nice job.
Has to be the target or spotted goby not the cycadelic mandrin.
A pair of Blue Star Leopard Wrasses did for my tank what manual removal and 3 doses of FWE at double strength failed to do. The eliminated any and all FW's from my 120g SPS dominant reef in a matter of a couple weeks. As an added bonus, they are one of the more striking fishes I have kept in the 30+ years I've been at it. They are also very much reef friendly.
HTH!
HTH!
Blue Velvet Nudibranch is also another option
Yep. Added spotted mandarin, yellow corris, and a sixline. Seem to all be putting in work!Also target or spotted mandrin gobys do a nice job.

Just learned something I didn't know.
I have to update the blue star leopard wrasses and the blue velvet nudibranch to my list of pest janitors now : )

Thank you all!

Muahahaha
+1 for the Nudi.
That thing was a flatworm vacuum in my old tank. Fascinating to watch its mouth sense and eat the flatworms off the glass. It did an amazing job in three weeks.
If only it didn't find its way past the foam guard on the powehead.
