    From what I have read from other peoples experiences, six-line wrasses work fairly well if you do your part to remove as many of the red flat worms as you can so the wrasse has a chance to keep up with them multiplying. You can try to siphon them up or I just take a algae cleaning pad and wipe them off the glass. I'm also going to try to get some quinulex and try that as they have taken over some of my rockwork.

    P.S. - My blue tang in named Papa Smurf!

    No problem on using the name. I also thought about calling him Scaredy Smurf as when I first walk up to the tank he darts behind some rock to his hide out and then pokes out to see if it's safe.

    I just got an email from a friend who works at Aquatek in Austin and he suggested trying an arrow crab on the red planarians or a dottyback. He said if I try the arrow crab, don't feed for awhile so that it will get hungry and start eating them. I'm sure this is still hit or miss like all the other solutions.
