[leftovers]

There are flatworm removal products on the market that will easily kill flatworms. Flatworm eXit works well just follow the instructions.

May not play well with other tank mates. Fish are most likely ok (as long as they aren't other wrasse obviously) but inverts are essentially snacks.

I had one for quite a while and he finally cleared out every last flatworm. But all my little fanworms were also gone.

He didn't mess with any crabs (a pom-pom and another unidentified rock-boring nocturnal creep I could never reach or trap) and most of the snails seemed to be ok, but I would expect he'd tear apart any shrimp in quick order.

Very lively and entertaining. - Intelligent with (in my opinion) more personality than clowns.

deplete the pod population and the flatworms will diminish naturally. i don't advise you to use flatworm exit or any other chemical methods.
read this guy's research. i found it to be accurate, from the results of my own tank-
