Hello, there are many flatworms in my tank, which fish should I use to clean them?
The dimensions of my tank are 24''20''20'', it is a tank without sand,
fish in my tank 1x powder blue tang
1x sixline wrasse
2x bangai cardinal
1x harley quin shrimp
sixline wrasse doesn't touch flatworms at all

My bad I thought you were talking about Corals, I’ve had many wrasses that we’re supposed to take care of the flat worms, but none of them ever did except for one, i had a yellow tail tamerin wrasse that hunted them

I actually think your suggestion for a KCL (in a salt water dip) would be more useful than a fish for these. Any fish that tried to eat a flatworm is probably going to nip the flesh and eat that too.

Potassium chloride is the way to go for those things, if you have a lot of them like I did, I was told to dip them twice a week for 10 weeks so that’s exactly what I did and still didn’t get them all, I had to do it for 14 weeks, they lay so many eggs to so look for those as well and scrape them off with something
