Get a bucket, heater and an airstone or mini pump for water flow. Do a seperate dip of flatworm exit. You may need to double the dose for it to work properly (I had to do that with the flatworms I had.. it took out the big ones ok, but the smaller aceol ones it wouldn't touch without a double dose and they were every where!!).

Fill the bucket with 2-3gallons of water, to allow some water space to help take care of any toxins the flatworms will release when they start dieing.

Keep the coral in the quaranteen bucket over night if possible. Add carbon if needed to the bucket after 6 hours or if the leather is showing adverse signs to the treatment.

Thank you Nebthet, do I keep the coral in the water that has the flatworm exit overnight?

After the six hour period, I would put some carbon in the water near your water movement source to take care of some of the toxins from the flatworms, but to be on the safe side, to ensure you get as many of the flatworms as possible, I would leave it in the flatworm exit over night. The product should not hurt your corals at all. It is the toxins from the flatworm deaths that you have to worry about. When I treated my 20L tank, I had my hammer, torch acans and sps all in there and none of them were adversely affected.
