I am not sure if there is a correlation or not, but I added my tail spot blenney 3 weeks ago. I used to have 30+ flatworms on the sides of the tank at the end of the day. I have not seen a single flatworm for a week, not one! I can't think what else would cause this other than the blenney.

Great to hear John! I don't know anything about that fish, never having it myself, but I'm sure there are at least a few people on here that can tell you if indeed he is your culprit.

Interesting John....I have about 1,000,000 flat worms currently so wonder if that would do the trick without siphoning/dosing :)

I officially start the demand for a member's tank thread on your tank. If I don't see something in the next seven days, I start the lynch mob. ;) Especially now with your new RAP corals

Hi Jessica,
So Peter very kindly dipped my cali tort and he gave me a small green acro frag. Problem is my yellow clown gobby wants to eat the polyps and will not leave them alone, they have not even opened yet::mad:
I am torn between which should go, but I think it will be the gobby as he is also causing trouble with my blenney.
I have set up a small makeshift quarantine tank, but not sure how I will catch him. I have been tying with a net wo success. I would appreciate any ideas.
As for the tank thread, I am working on it. It looks a bit like a frag tank at the moment. Maybe I should start with a description with pics to follow?

Well, the yellow clown gobby has been caught and I will take him back today. I didn't realize how much I had become attached to the the little guy. I would appreciate any comments on a fish I could replace him with. Must be small, colorful, peaceful and out most of the time.
Thanks.
