    Have you thought about using Azure Damsels? They eat flatworms too. I figure since people use yellow coris wrasse or the Melanarus wrasse for eradification that they are smaller and you can use them in the tank.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Those are all really colorful corals. The Setosa is one of my favorites.

    I currently have all Acropora corals in a 40B QT for the last 4 weeks, and it is going fairly well. I have a sixline for worm control and 50 cent piece sized sailfin tang for algae control in there. I cant use snails because the dip is hightly toxic to inverts. I just did a dip session last Saturday, and only 5 very small worms were found. And all of them were on one colony. So I believe that was the last of them. But I am going to keep them in QT for 3-4 more weeks just to be sure.

    Thanks for the suggestion, but dmasels are the devil. ;D

    You are welcome. But believe it or not, they are docile like chromis. One of the few damsels that aren't the devil. Good water boy interpretation I might add.

    I'm not exactly sure if this is has a specific name. I scored it at my LFS last weekend. I took in a 60 head colony of duncan coral and got this chalice and a very small sailfin tang.

    I found this link, but it doesnt have the orange eyes, so mine is even sweeter than this, and it was much cheaper!;D
