Hello,

Has anyone seen these flatworms before? Will a mystery wrasse eat these?

Looks like red planaria? If that is in fact what it is, they are harmless, but the population can explode quickly and they ugly up your tank. Some wrasses will eat them. Flat worm exit will knock them out, but if there is a big population, the mass die off can release a lot of toxins in your water.

Thanks for the reply. I just bought a six line. Hopefully that helps.
