Need flatworm help!!

[FishieBusiness]

I don't know what is going on. I have been fighting those little red flatworms for months. I been using Flatworm eXit(4 boxes to date). Following the directions exactly. I won't see them for a while and then I start to see them again. I dosed the tank twice in 1 week the beginning of November. I was just going some glass cleaning and I noticed some of those little red suckes on the shell of my dressa clam. Easy to see them on the shell. I took a look around the tank and found them in multiple location of the rock work. Have not added anything new in 8 months and that was just fish thought.

Do you have any ideas?

I would try a wrasse flatworm exit will kill the adults but the eggs will survive and repopulate over time

+1 on the wrasse

Arrow crab works also

Coris wrasse is a born killer imo. I’d keep using the FWE followed by carbon as well.

What type of other wrasse other than Coris? It would not be a good fit. I have a Solon fairy wrasse but it doesn't both with them.

I'll look in an arrow crab and see if it will be a fit. Thanks

I use to use a piece of RODI tubing and siphon them off the rocks into a filter sock constantly. I finally got three yellow corris wrasse and they didn't touch them for prob two months and then they finally wiped them out and I haven't seen one in 2 years.

I’d get rid of the fairy wrasse but I’ve never seen my coris wrasses show aggression

Hope you mean yellow coris wrasse, the red one would eat all your cuc

I thought he meant the red 1 also. LOL I'm liking the idea of the yellow coris.

Why do you say to send the fairy wrasse packing? What's he ever done to you? LOL

I was implying that if the wrasse you have is stopping you from getting a wrasse you need that I’d find it a new home. But you should try the yellow coris

I've had a yellow coris and a salon fairy wrasse together with no issues.

You can try a combo of fish if you have the space. Target mandarin, Mel wrasse, radiant wrasse, corris wrasse, sixline, 8line, springer damsel, blue stripe pipefish. If you have a sump or any hang on the back items they are in there too.
