wrasses, such as sixline, eat flat worms...not 100% about red ones, but I would assume so. I know they eat the white ones. I had quite a few of the white ones when I first set up my 90g, but they were all quickly consumed afer I added a mystery wrasse. I also have a sixline in my 45g tank.

hth,
rob

Flatworm eXit is the only sure way I know of to get rid of them but be careful the flatworms are toxic when they die.
Syphon as many as you can before using Flatworm eXit.

I did this 2 days ago. This is not going to be a fun process. Imagine flat worm soup........... my tank looks great though goodbye flatworms.
