flatworm eating dragonnet

[StevenSeas]

I was wondering if anybody had any experience with this and if so what kind of dragonnet was it? green mandarin? target mandarin? scooter blenny?

I had the small rusty flatworms before adding a small target mandarin, so I think he ate most or all of them.

Is a flatworm eating your dragonet? That's terrible!
Or are you looking for a dragonet that eats flatworms?

I once had flatworms. I just squashed them against the glass and they disappeared. I also had spotted mandarins but have no idea if they ate any flatworms. Aren't wrasses supposed to eat all kinds of stuff like that?

[StevenSeas]

yes but i have yet to order the clear mesh to top my tank with. Also i was going to title the thread mandarin eating flatworm but that sounded even more wrong

[StevenSeas]

ooo and my flatworms are on the bottom 3-4 inches of my rocks and not at all on my glass

Don't know of a mandarine that eats flatworms. What kind of flatworms do you have? Some wrasse make a meal out of them. The rust brown flatworms make a mess of your tank and release a poison when you smash them. I heard a velvet nudi would eat them. The clear ones that are usually found in refugs people typically recommend to leave them alone. I can't stand the rust ones, but the clear ones don't bother me....can't really see them!!!

[StevenSeas]

its the rust ones. and i had been reading on wwm about mandarins eating them w/ mixed success

I would think it is worth a try. Nothing like a cute manderin in your tank.
