20 minutes of Tropic Marin Pro Coral Cure, then inspect after shaking it in the solution to see if any flatworms or bugs fall off. Then shake and turkey baste in a container of tank water.
If it's a smooth skin sps, then I inspect to spot red bugs, but red bugs don't scare me as much as Acropora eating flatworms cause red bugs is very treatable.

I use CoralRX and dip it for about 10 mins. Kills everything except the coral.

Treated with interceptor while still in the bag floating in the sump for approx 3h (or whenever I eventually remember about them).
