what are these?

Ummmm...not wrasses eat clams. I have had two sixlines and neither ever touched a single one of my clams. There are many reef safe wrasses out there.

 

the Halichoeres melanurus wrasse eats flatworms like crazy and are a pretty fish. the name might not be spelled right but look at the wrasse family and find him. Remember if you use flatworm exit when they die off they are toxic. this wrasse is for sure reef safe......good luck

 

thats a serious case of flatworms....

Id siphon em out over a weeks time before using FW exit.

 

ill try wrasse first before chemicals, plus i need another fish since my goby died

 

yikes thats alot of fw... def keep us posted on how the wrasse/siphoning combo works for ya

 

sad i just realized my damn yellow watchman was prolly eating them since they exploded after he died.

 

Well went to lfs and got me a 6 line and woohoo shes already nibbling on them, ima suck some out at wc and help her get it under control. Really likes the tank compared to the lil tank she was in. Lets hope this works.

 

boohoo as in bad??? is she nibbling on your clams or the fw???

 

Shes nibbling on the fw just not fast enough since I have way to many so ima siphon them out this week and help her out. Plus note wifey loves her so it was a good purchase even if this is a epic fail for fw.

 

that's good to know that the six line is eating them... I've always heard that they might, but don't think I've heard many first-hand accounts of this... I've never seen a flatworm like these in my tank, so maybe my sixline has done a good job of keeping them at bay.
