Try not feeding the tank for a couple days, make sure the shrimp is hungry then try the pop bottle trap again with some food inside. In my experience shrimp are voracious feeders. As for flat worms have you considered something like a six line wrasse?

Regarding the flatworms, I won't be able to put in a 6 line as they are far to aggressive and would likely kill my yellow coris and leopard wrasses. I was told that a scooter blennie may help erridicate flatworms but I had never heard of that before. But since adding one a few months back, my flatworm population has significantly declined. Not sure if it was coincidence or not but I might not even have to resort to using chemical warfare if this keeps up.

scooter blennie and Mandarin gobies are great flat worm eaters.
