Run A high grade carbon fast! Lots of it. keep doing lots of water changes too. (dont do them too fast of you may shock your tank but keep on them).
Crank your protien skimmer to the max so your getting lots of water too.
hope fully some one else has more advice.
Good luck.

No, that carbon is pretty much key.
Running it shortly after using the flatworm exit, is recomended.
Good luck though... Put several mesh bags of carbon in your tank. One in front of every water pressure source. All the powerheads, skimmer intake, anywhere you can...
Took this off the package...
Any body juice released by the dead flatworms in the water has to be reduced further by using about 1 pound of fresh high quality carbon for every 50 gallons. The carbon has to be used in a canister with a sufficient forced water flow.

I just used this stuff in both my tanks last week. No problems at all, didn't run carbon cause there is nowhere to put it in my 150. I don't understand the yellow tint :notsure: you have in your water. I had alot of those worms in my nano, did a 50% water change and syphoned alot of them out before I used the stuff, but there were still lots of dead ones in the tank, which is the reason for the large water change. The only thing that died besides the flat worms was afew slugs, corals are fine, hopefully yours will be ok.
