I recently encountered flat worms in my tank . I noticed my leathers with some then my gonipora . I bought revive and dipped them . They come off quick and die . Two days later I see them in my ricordias. So I bought a six line wrasse to help with the infestation. It looks like he doesn't even look at them.
My question is , can I buy another six line wrasse or will they fight? And I need help because I think it's affecting my zoas.
 
No they will fight. Try flatworm exit. It actually works really well. Just plan to have a water change ready since you need to suck out all the dying flatworms. Just remember for every 1 you see there are 10 more you don't
 
Honestly I wouldn't buy a fish to solve the problem. It may or may not eat them. Almost all wrasses are good pest control but I'd do the flatworm exit
 
Ok thank you, one more question can they kill zoas
 
What color are they? I doubt it though unless they get to plague proportions.
 
The flat worms look brown .
If that's what you are referring to.
 
Yeah they won't eat coral just kinda get to be so numerous they cover the coral and block light.
