Flatworm problems? come here

[yikai]

Ever see that black slug rimmed with neon blue highlights at GO coral tanks? ever wondered what it is? well, after doing some research, i learnt that is it called a blue velvet sea slug (Chelidonura varians ) and it is an obligate flatworm eater. meaning it ONLY eats flatworm to survive. much like the berghia nudibranch and its aiptasia only meals (: if you have serious infestations of flatworms of plague proportions, do consider this slug. it is not only useful, but exceptionally beautiful. Do take note however, that this, being a nudibranch, is poisonous when it dies or injured etc. so becareful. also if ur flatworm population runs out, this beauty will starve. so pass it around to share with other reefers (: it has a tube like mouth from which it will suck up any flatworms (:

just a tidbit to share with you guys (: consider the natural way of removing flatworms. the blue velvet sea slug!

hi success, a flatworm is a well...flat..worm...and they, although some are not really harmful, they can reach plague like proportions. and make ur tank really ugly. they can also colonise on ur corals and block out light. they look like this.
