what is wrong with my duncan coral

Get the six line out of the tank is not an easy task but it worth a try

Bruce, I used Precision Solution Go to www.aquavisionaquatics.com. If no luck I have some which you are welcome to try. On second thought mine is a billion years old. I pretty sure I got it at All about Fish your favorite. It says treats flat worms in marine systems and reefs.

Just caught my attention that melanurus wrasse requires a sand bed to sleep on and my tank has no sand.

Put a Tupperware behind a rock out of view with sand in it. [emoji1417]

Great idea. Thanks!

Got lucky. I got the Onate Wrasse while it was hidden on the top corner of the tank.
It really stressed out by the six line.
Moved it to my 35 gals tank. It's doing ok now.

Found a big Melanurus wrasse at one of the LFS last weekend. This one is about 2.5 times bigger than the 6 line.
So far the 6 line did not bother the Melanurus as it did with the Onate. I guest it did not want to mess up with a much bigger guy.
Let see if the Melanurus will take down the population of flatworm.

I’ve used flatworm exit enough to be confident that it will solve your problem. It should take two treatments two to three days apart. Just make sure to have a water change ready. Also, duncans seem to react to it by closing up but open right up after the water change. I have a mixed reef. I’ve used it in three different aquariums and never saw them again.

I am going to give the Melanurus Wrasse a chance to work its magic.
After a couple week if there is no good progress then I will use Flatworm Exit.

I blew a bunch of flatworms of my Frogspawn, the Melanurus swam by and did not bother to look. What is wrong?
