I have a 265 gallon reef complete with flatworms. I've used Flatworm Exit to deminish the numbers on 2 occassions. While it works well, it will not completely eradicate the little devils.. :-(( I have one very small six line wrass, thats probably too small to be interested in dining on them. I noticed in the Tank of the Month that he has 6 six lines... Doe's anyone else have more than one and are they combative in groups. What other natural successes have people had? Other Fish ?

Thanks in advance for your responses...

According to the book "Reef Aquarium Fishes by Scott Michael" You can keep more then one in a tank larger then 135gal, if added simultaneously. But as always in this hobby there is no guarantee that they won't kill each other or even eat flat worms.

Black velvet nudibranch.
Only thing is that's about all they eat, so when flatworms are gone, so is their food source.
You could always give it back to LFS though.
They're pretty too, black with royal blue lines.

I've had great luck using the Ocellated Dragonet (Scooter Blenny.)

I used a BLue Velvet Nudibranch and it did a great job ridding my tank of flatworms.
