    i have red planara flatworms(cpods and munnid isopods too) in my 14.2g aio tank, NO fish. like 5 corals, 4 dwarf blue hermits, 1 turbo snail all on 2week water changes. i plan on having a smaller pipefish and have a fuge already for pods.
    if anyone had a blue velvet nudi or a smaller PEACEFUL temperament, 6line, smaller yellow corris possum wrasse they could get rid of thatd be great. dont have too much extra money for shipping rn on sites like Liveaquaria rn and all LFS's near hot springs dont have a great selection of fish rn or even snails. saying they may not start getting more fish in up to 2 months at least!!!
    note id also gladly get any nassarius snails if u have em too :)

    I have a Halichoeres(Earmuff) wrasse but he is over 6" long so I don't think he would do well in your tank. Have you considered Flatworm Exit?

    Almost all the disasters I've heard of associated with Flatworm Exit have been from the die off of vast numbers of flatworms. For that reason, you should use it on a day when you can be around and siphon them off as they die as completely as possible. Thankfully, I've been blessed to never half to deal with these buggers!
