Yes, I had tons of then when I first set up my tank. They were all over the place. I was really worried about it but their numbers have slowly started to decrease in the past couple of months. I have decieded just to keep an eye on it but not worry too much about it. Plus, I think they help keep the rocks algae free.

I had them, got sick of them and decided to use Flatworm Exit last week. I normally do not like dosing chemicals in my tank, but I was willing to try this.

This stuff works great.

I will 2nd Mark on this....excellent product but if you have tons of them be sure to have some freshly made up SW on hand for a w/c and siphon as many as you can out first, also some carbon used after the treatment helps. When flatworms die they can release toxins so you need to be prepared if you are gonna treat w/flatworm exit. I had some problems with the flatworms on certain corals, and I just took the corals out with the problems and dipped them in some tank water thats isolated treated w/ Flatworm exit.

This is what I found as well. I thought I got most of them out before I dosed it. But wow was I amazed how many of them came out of hiding within a couple of minutes.
