Hello!
I noticed one of my frogspawns closing up and sadly it’s due to flatworms. I’m not sure what the best strategy is to get rid of them.

As my tank is a Euphyllia garden, and most have been glued down for months to a year, removing them to dip them is going to be a hell… As it’s a 15G with 2 clowns, adding a wrasse or damsel also isn’t an option…

Most well known anti flatworm products are unavailable in the Netherlands. I can get the Salifert one, but shipping will take 2-3 weeks… Sadly I thought it was a flow issue at first so they have been in the tank for a while now, lets say 2 weeks (not sure how they even got in the tank…)

The only thing I can think about is Peroxide dosing in combination of 10 minutes full power on the wavemaker and hope I can stun them and scoop them out… I can get Blue Life flatworm RX tomorrow, but it has quite a few bad reviews that it doesn’t work.

Everything else seems fine for now…

Are they the red/rust colored ones? I had a six like wrasse and also a Springeri damsel help get rid of mine. Additionally I manually sucked out as many as I could every day for a week or so to help reduce the population. Haven't seen them since

I run quite a few blues, but they look black and are incredibly small. I used to have ghost flatworms, but heard they aren’t bad so I never did anything. Adding a damsel or wrasse won’t be possible due to my tank size…
