Welcome to the board triger,
All you can do with flatworms is watch for the most part. I am lucky and my six line wrasse has wiped my tank out of flatwoms.
DON'T GO BUY ONE THO! You will need to get rid of two of the three following fish as it is, if not all of them immediately.

I bought a Mandarin, Scooter Blenny and a leopard wrasse not sure what they are eating yet.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">All three of these fish eat the same food. 'Pods. Copepods and amphipods. Nothing else. A four month old tank is not going to produce enough of these invertabrates to keep three of these hunters alive. What size is your tank? Most people will not keep a mandarin in anything less than a tank that is a year old and 100 gallons. If you do not know what these fish are eating it is imperative that you take them back to the store and sit down and do very very careful research into each and every fish you want to stock in your tank. If you are extremely lucky one or more may eat prepared food. but if you don't know what they are eating it sounds like they are competing for waht little food your tank will have in it. Please heed my advice before these three fish starve to death. They ae all very very nice fish to look at but are very sepcific in what they will eat.
As for your flatworms one way that I reduced the numbers inmy tank was by not feeding the tank at all. I don't recommend this right now because of the fish you have in there. Otherwise you will will have to siphon as many as you can out regularly and keep the numbers in check manually.
