But reefkeepers do have mixed results with them.

Flatworms come in on corals imported from the wild and then infest wholesale and retail marine facilities before being accidentally introduced to reef tanks as hitchhikers on corals and live rock. Flatworm controllers like sixline wrasses can then offer another line of defence from either living in the coral quarantine tank or the main tank where they will hunt them out and eat them as they find them.
