    Already sent him back to the ocean via sink. ;)

    I seriously doubt that is a nudibranch, it doesn't look anything like any nudibranch i have ever seen. It may not be a bristle worm, but i think its some kind of worm.

    We just received our salifert exit in the mail today to get rid of the flatworms in our 10 gallon tank... We have a carbon canister on the 75 gallon tank that we will use for the procedure to take the toxins (flatworms) and chemical out of the water. Only thing we do not have is a protein skimmer... Can this be done without the protein skimmer?

    Mark - I believe doing it without a skimmer is fine as long as you do run the carbon and do water changes afterwards. Many medications/treatments instruct to turn skimmers off during treatment. Get as many of the flatworms out of the tank as possible before treating it. This will help reduce the amount of toxins released when the ones in the tank die. I've not used the flatworm exit product, but follow the instructions carefully. It doesn't take long for the flatworms to die so you need to be ready with new saltwater and the carbon before you start.
