you can use prozy-pro but it may kill of your feather dusters if you have any or you can take them out and if you have one place them in a holding tank in the meantime if you don't have any then you you can just go ahead and use it. (p.s.) you are right about people miss spelling on this sight,but you are not dealing with rocket scientists.

Speaking of spelling and grammar....are you referring to Prazi-Pro??

Funny I just found one in my sump I thought it was really interesting I don't keep clams so I put it back In I wonder if it keeps other pests at bay ?

you do NOT want those beasts in your tank. They will eat all your CUC.

Don't really keep cuc actually funny I keep 2 sand sifting conchs and when I put the poly clad back in it landed right by one of them they r really quick within a few seconds it was underneath the conch I figured oops that was stupid there goes my conch to my surprise the conch used its leg or whatever that thing is called that it pushes itself over rocks with to give the poly clad the boot it found a rock and disappeared !!!
Wish I had it on video really awesome !

Anyway I was wondering if the poly clad might eat other sp of flat worm

Polyclat FWs only eat snails and clams/etc. they are awful creatures to have as they multiply and are very difficult to get rid of.

There is a trick of using a soup container with a few slits and a banged up clam inside, google it if you want to learn about it.

get a 6 line wrasse

 

[debbythefowler]

Polyclad worms are TOO big for a 6 line wrasse. The one I siphoned was about 3" long and 1" wide...

 

[Mattl22]

Mine too I'm sure a lot of us have them don't even know only reason I saw mine is it was attached to a bag of carbon I was swaping

you know that you probably have 'em when you begin to see empty snail shells in the am.
