flat worms

I have one rock that has a bunch of brown flat worms on it. Should I get rid of them, and if so how? I have a mixed reef of SPS,LPS and soft.

First bucket of tank water and powerhead then blast them off
Second fresh water dip
and the last way I know of is to have some tank water in plastic bowl (big) and put in a dark place with infected rock and some brine shrimp leave for 20min or so worms should go for the food then shake the hell out of the rock and inspect. follow any or all these steps and hopefully no more flatworm. I'd be inspecting the rest of the tank to. You can also buy Flatworm exit but I don't think corals like it and I've never used it , Good Luck

Flat worm exit works real good.If it is only on one rock i would just dip in in a bucket with it and it should take care of it.
