Default Reef Safe Predator of Flat Worms?

* Groovok wrote, On 9/5/2006 6:48 PM:
I recently have had a outbreak of flatworms in my 90 gallon reef. My LFS was
out of Six Line Wrasse's, which I've read Love to eat these little pests..
So I picked up a Spotted Green Mandarin after reading online that they love
flatworms. The mandarin is doing a alright job I guess...His belly is very
full, and I see him eating them often.
Is there any other Reef Safe Fish that I could put in there to help the
Mandarin out? I'm not a big fan of the Sixline so.. I'd rather pick up
someone else.
Thanks!!


When you say flatworms, do you mean the pinkish bristly ones? Because my little
tank is full of copepods and bristleworms. Would a 10-12-gal. hex be big enough
for a mandarin, anyone?
