So my dad has a 28gallon nano cube reef tank. It originally had 2 clowns at 8years of age each, 1 cardinal pajama fish? at about 12 years old, and probably $400 worth of corals and live rock. He bought a poison that said was safe for corals and fish except when the flatworms die they release a toxin. My dad siphoned MANY of them, to the point where he could not see any, then used the poison. Now ~40% of the corals are alive and holding on, with just 1 clown fish alive.... My dad is not happy with this product. He followed the directions to each and every word, did appropriate water changes twice a day for 5 days trying to get any remenants of the toxin/poison out. So if you want to try to get rid of them I suggest using a Blue Velvet nudibranch. I tried to tell my dad that before he bought the poison. :shakehead:
