They aren't a nutrient thing that will go away. Try manually removing as many as you can, then try the suggested fish (some wrasses I think) to control them.

+1!!!

A spotted Mandarin will eliminate the issue.

I had a 20G overrun with them at one time.

I added a Spotted Mandarin and within two weeks the issue was gone.

I understand sixline wrasse might also enjoy them.

Flatworm Exit works... but never guaranteed to get them all... and you can bomb your tank.

Try natural first.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.
