Mandarin for Flatworms?

[TacoKing]

So, Peletta recommended target mandarins for the brown flatworms? Which mandarin is the target mandarin? Synchiropus picturatus or Synchiropus splendidus?

I've got a ton of the brown flatworms that are starting to take over a bit. I did a flatworm exit dose last night but I know it didn't get all of them.

i beleive it is the green mandrin with the orange spots?

I have been using a 6-line wrasse to control my flatworm problem. It works very well.

He was actually refering to the almost clear in color, Acro eating flatworms which are very destructive of acro colonies.

But a mandrin will take care of the red flatworms you have as well.

I have noticed a few white flatworms in my 92gal bow... If I were to get a
Green Mandarin (Synchiropus splendidus) (http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_Display.cfm?pCatId=551)... Would this take care of them, or does it have to be a Spotted Mandarin (Synchiropus picturatus) (http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=554)...
