Ok....after my first Flatworm Exit attempt was unsuccesful, and two different Six-Line wrasses and a black velvet nudibranch have failed to eat them and totally disappeared......
I'm going to try FWE again.
This time I will take the advice of SaltwaterB and others.
I have one gallon of tank water in a tupperware thingy.
It has 10 flatworms in it. I have added one drop at a time to determine the lethal dose.
I am at 3 drops right now. I waited 5 or 10 minutes between drops and mixed the water to see if they would die.
Once I get a lethal level, I plan on dipping the mushrooms that are covered with worms in this one gallon container.
My plan is to strain the flatworm corpses out of the gallon of water....and dip the mushrooms again tommorow when they are infested again.
This should cut their numbers and make a whole tank treatment less dangerous ( in theory ).
