I had an unidentified damsel that ate them, unfortunately I lost him to a marine velvet out break

The other thing you can do is to vacuum them into a micro filter bag. This works really well if you have a sump or when you do a water change. Just get a smaller diameter hose and suck away.
After a while it seems to collapse the colony and they all vanish

leopard wrasses are pretty common actually.. there have been a bunch at the stores over the last few months... No idea on their flatworm eating capabilities though.

I picked up a nasty flatworm problem in my qt tank - following the proper dosing as dictated on the FWE packaging; had no effect... Finally got it sorted - here's the catch, you totally ignore the salifert instructions...

Do your w/c first - get out all the flatworms you can get (turkey baster and a bbs net works pretty good). Then do a 4x dose of FWE, then let it stew for 24 hours... (This is the reason for getting ALL the FW's you can out). Then turn on carbon. Repeat 5-6 days later.

Use at your own risk, this worked for me - but I take no responsibility for any deaths / meltdowns from this this method. We seem to have a nasty resistant strain of flatworms that have been going around calgary.

update: I got a Red Coris wrasse about 2 weeks ago and he won't touch the flatworms!!!

The flatworm colony is now massive, litterally every rock is infested..
