I got some flatworm problems in my tank lately . There are many brown spots on corals. there are are 10-15 tiny red/ brownish ones on the glass. I have 300 g tank . High nutrient is a little problematic because I have a lot of fish overfeeding sometimes .
I am afraid to use flatworm exit by now because I don’t want dead worm toxin release to water kill some delicate fish
I did some google search to find some natural ways to cure the flatworm problem .
so far I have 8 wrasses in my tank. 3 leopard ( one is blue star leopard ). 2 cleaner wrasse, 1 yellowtail tamarin wrasse . non of them interested in flatworms. Copperband butterfly doesn eat flat worms neither .
Finally I got a target mandarin . He moves slower than a turtle . Only hang around bottom of rock . Most of flatworms on top of sand and on corals . He has no desire to move away from the rock . I have another regular blue mandarin in the tank for a while , he only interested in pods.
i had to order a yellow coris wrasse yesterday to be arrived tomorrow. That’s my only hope here. I heard 6 line wrasse is great for flatworm too . But I am afraid its too aggressive to other fish
from many previous posts , people seem always found a miracle fish to get rids of those flatworms in a few days . So far I don’t have any luck yet .
If you have other suggestions please let me know. Many thx
