Description
Flatworms can quickly turn a beautiful reef into a headache, so keeping them under control is a must. The Salifert Flatworm eXit Treatment is designed to target these pests without harming fish, corals, or invertebrates when used correctly.
This liquid formula of Salifert flatworm works by disrupting the flatworm’s metabolism, causing them to die off within hours. Most will be gone in less than a day, and you’ll often see results starting in just 30 minutes. Because flatworm body fluids can be toxic in high amounts, it’s important to siphon out as many as possible during treatment and have activated carbon ready to keep your water safe.
It is a reliable go-to for infestations, especially when new corals bring uninvited hitchhikers into the tank. Follow the instructions closely, keep the skimmer running, and switch off UV or ozone during use. With careful application of this aquarium water tasting kit, your reef can get back to thriving, colorful, and flatworm-free.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this harm fish or corals in the tank?
+
Not if you play by the rules. Used as directed, Salifert Flatworm eXit Treatment is reef-safe. The trouble usually comes when folks ignore the instructions.
How fast does Salifert Flatworm eXit Treatment work once added?
+
Pretty quick. You’ll usually see flatworms start dropping within half an hour, and a few hours later most are gone.
Do water changes need to happen after Salifert flatworm treatment?
+
Yep, that part matters. A partial water change afterward helps clear out toxins from the die-off and keeps things stable.
Why is activated carbon recommended during treatment?

Absolutely. Many reef keepers use it as a precaution to stop hitchhiker flatworms before they spread.
