    No prob. Thanks for the tip.

    Funny thing ... I've had some friends in town so I've been running around and haven't done anything to my tank, but I noticed tonight that the population has leveled out a bit and hasn't taken over my tank. They also still hang out on one side of the tank.

    Glad I didn't do anything really drastic - this may be manageable. :)

    Glad to hear it! Hopefully, their numbers will keep dwindling and if they don't go away completely, you can always hope for a "happy balance". They don't do any harm but if you keep sps corals, they can block the light from the coral and, as a result, harm it indirectly.

    My tank seemed to like the little water change when I siphoned them last time. I'll probably do that again this weekend.

    Hey Matt there is always Prazi-Pro if thos little bugger happen to be parasitic and take off. http://www.uskoi.com/prazipro.htm Thought check out the contradiction I don't know what kind of worms you got. Prazi a safe effective wormer that is selective about what it kills. It work great on Discus.

    No experience here, but I heard the same thing. I also heard that there is a type of nudibranch that will eat them but they are hard to come by. How many do you have fletch?

    Well not a lot I just did some siphoning and I got a lot of them out, I caught them farley soon thanks to you Matt. as I was a little more informed as to what they were after looking them up after finding out that you had them. Do you know if a yellow wrasse is reef safe or not? :-/ ............ John

    Glad to hear it. As for the Yellow Wrasse, it appears to be fairly safe. I would ask our resident Wrasse fan - Craig.

    I still have a ton of flat worms. But since I was going out of town. I didn't have time to deal. Will do so when I return.
