Interesting, it says that the shrimps will eat the flatworms, eggs and even the tissues of the coral... so the recommendation is that the coral is kept with the shrimps for only 30-60mins....

My question is that : Would the shrimps eat only the flatworms and its eggs before they start eating the tissue?

If they eat everything, they probably start eating everything at the same time! So after even 60mins, the flatworms and eggs might still be there?? tongue.gif

Hmmm interesting... anyway I thot of sharing mine experience with flatworms and how a six-line wrasse helps to solve the problem. It's was great and it really did a good job and till now, not even a single flatworm is spotted in the tank.

Interesting blush.gif Reading from the site, I guess that the shrimp will eat the worms and eggs first. But I think even if it's eating the sps, 60mins will not really cos much harm to the coral.

Btw, what shrimp are those? Peppermint? blush.gif
