You are going to want to use Flatworm Exit to get rid of them. I have done it several times on my reef tank with no problems. I highly recomend doing it several times as I have still not gotten all of mine out. I have done a dose now once a week for 3 weeks. Coral and fish are still thriving. You should follow melevs site. He has alot f really good info there.

i have no experience with flatworms but i have heard that flatworm exit works well and also a type of nudibranch (blanking on the name. its on the tip of my tongue) but they are always risky and what would you do with it once it ate all of them?
