Default Dip for red planaria?

What kind of dip is effective for red planaria? I recently acquired a few corals from a very infested system but I want to make sure the planaria is good and dead before I even think about putting it in my display.

So far I did the old freshwater dip and swish as well as a lugols dip but I'm not sure if that's enough? I don't have access to any fancy dips here in red deer, but I think I may have some levimasole kicking around somewhere.... Thoughts?

What about eggs? How long do they take to hatch? How long would I need to QT before it would be safe to add anything to the main system? I'm not set up for a good qt right now as I do not have extra lighting or $ for that. Corals are being held in a 2.5 gal with a heater and a very small PH with spray-bar for now.
