flatworm eating wrass or nudi

Which are they? Can I get some common names and some scientific names to go with them? I'm really wanting to avoid flatworm exit. I'm fairly lucky with the hit or miss natural cures. I have a few aptasia and I've heard that the black nudi will eat both. I've got a 125 with a whole big mess of these flatworms. Any idea how many to get or maybe another route to take for these?

I don't know about a wrasse but Chelidonura varians is reported to be the flatworm eating nudi here is a long thread on the subject Getting Rid of Flatworms. It won't surprise me that a wrasse would eat them too. They chow down on anything that moves, which can also be a bad thing.

The aiptasia eating one is different Berghia verrucicornis.
