[dolphins8426]

I recently noticed some flatworms on my mushroom coral. I wouldn't say its a really big problem but I want to nip it in the butt asap. I have a 55gallon tank with 2 clowns 1 scooter snails and some hermits. what to get that will eat flatworms for my tank.

He might. But I'm not sure.

Most scooters wont touch flatworms.They mainly like pods.
Yellow Coris Wrasses and Sixlines usually love snacking on em though.

There's a product called flatworm exit.I heard it works well,not sure if your LFS has it but online vendors should.

Yellow coris wrasses aren't always reef safe, sixlines are. So if you're planning a fish only, you could go with either one. If you want a reef, go with the sixline.

yellow wrasses will eat your snails when they get bigger,but only if underfed. I had a school of them a little while back and they never touched a snail.

Mandrin will sometimes but I would make sure your tank has been set up a year or two before trying them. They need plenty of pods after the flatworms are gone.
