A few things I've read:
1) Tropic Marin Pro Coral Cure 2) Levimasole Hydrochloride - a treatment some people use on AEFW with success in their reef tanks (and can be found at feed stores, apparently) 3) The Chelidonura varians nudibranches, which apparently exclusively eat flatworms. Not sure how available they are here/there, though? One thing to mention is that, in my short reading on the subject, everyone seems to be saying the same thing: none of the treatments get rid of the eggs. Those need to be manually removed/scraped off. This sucks...sorry  But good luck.

Also found this:
"Dip the coral in hyposaline water, like 1.010 (or less), and have 10 drops of lugols added per gallon of water. Leave them in the water for 3-5 minutes, shake, and then scrape off any eggs you see. Put them back in your QT, and repeat every few days, and see if the eggs keep reappearing. The eggs you can't get, try to cover them with super glue."

Do you have any idea how you came to have them? Did you purchase any frags from somewhere far away? I have also not heard of anyone in BC having these. This is too close to home and could spread through local frag trading.

FWE doesn't actually work on them....I only wish! There are no good reports of eradication using wrasses....I have wrasses (several different types)....they don't do the job...again I WISH!
I have been trying to get the Velvet Nudibranch for several months to deal with red flatworms in another tank...but have had no luck....it is something I would like to try but I fear I don't have time to wait.... I have been purchasing through several retailers, and I have purchased some frags from other reefers, plus I bought a large amount of coral from a reefer...I do have an idea of where they came from, but I can't say for sure..I just know that I have them and it sucks. I plan on losing many a nice colony. Thank for the input everyone...and, hey at least I haven't fragged anything and sold it...then I would throw in the towel for wrecking other peoples reefs! In the end it comes down to my fault for not QTing all my acros/corals as it is buyer beware!
