HELP... Red planaria took over my frag tank and sump...

[Kerbash]

Hey,

Recently gone on a break for a month and came back home to a frag tank infested with red planaria, anyone got experience dealing with them? I suspect they hitched a ride on a coral I added in right before the trip. I would really want to try to avoid using chemicals.

I was personally thinking of picking up a mandarin or a filefish, will those help deal with the planaria problems?

Thanks!

PS would really want to avoid adding a wrasse, the tank and no lid and I lost too many wrasses to suicidal jumpers

Red scooter dragonets are great at eating them

I’ve had great luck with target mandarins and sapphire damsels. The sapphire damsels are super docile and can be kept in multiples
