Is this the infamous flat worm?

About 3 mm long and moves faster than a snail.


Is this the one-the one that we all worry during frag trade?

Yes, you are infested..

Sixline wrasse and Mandarin goby will eat those. Flat Warm Exit work well too.

I'm not sure that is the acro eating kind.

spykes or jackson should be able to tell.

Stay away from Flatworm exit, use the mandarin goby method.
Worked great for me, haven't seen on of those flatworms in months.

true. flat worm exit kills the worms, but the juice from the dead worms is deadly to everything in your tank. quite a few of our MR members have 1st hand experiences to that.

u can try the mandarin six line thing, but mine as well as many other peple didnt each any of them...best best, and do it quickly is to siphon out as many as possible and then hit them with the flat worm exit. after an hour run a huge amount of carbon. this should do it. act fast though!!

I know there is. I made a correct ID.

A flatworm is a flatworm.
No matter what kind it is........I don't want it in my tank.

wingo do what i did, I did two treatment of Flatworm Exit. The first treatment I did at regular dose, do 40% WC and fresh carbon. Then do another treatment 2 days later at 2 or 3x dosage and the same 40% WC. Then I went out and got myself a six-line. Have not seen a flatworm since.
