    Flat Worm Exit. However try and remove as many as possible via suction before and during usage of FWE. When they die they release a very toxic chemical. Then a larger then normal WC is called for, good idea to run some carbon also if your not already :) Good luck.

    I used a wrasse, then after I didnt see any for about a month, I got rid of the wrasse. That was a few months back and I still dont see any.

    Yes it is ok as long as you follow the directions. Personally I too prefer the natural predator way but not if it means getting rid of it afterwards. Unfair and stressful :(
