I have heard of the flatworm exit solution, but I have not heard of anyone who has actually used it successfully.

According to Dr. Ron, their diet is very specialized and without zoanthids they will die off. Actually, the only sure way to get rid of them is to dip and quarantine the zo's and keep them out of the tank about 6 weeks. Meanwhile, the zo's need to be dipped every 3 days ... I don't know how long ... to eliminate any eggs.

I'm hoping it's not going to be that extreme, but today ... saw one crawling across the front of my glass and zeroing in on one of my favorite colonies and ... of course ... the most difficult rock to pull out and dip.

Thanks for asking the question. I would love to hear if anyone has first hand success with using the flat worm exit.
