    Default flatworm eating dragonnet

    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?

    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!!!

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