C. taxifolia caulerpa feather grass with flatworms

I have 2 qts and one is currently going through hypo salinity. The other qt was empty.
So, buying things has come to an abrupt stop lately since the lfs I shopped at closed. The other local fish store has scary tanks, they worry me because everything seems dirty and somehow not right, but on a trip in to get some salt, I saw a brand new piece, a c. taxifolia caulerpa feather grass that looked beautiful and I bought it. Within 2 hours of putting it in my qt flatworms starting appearing on the glass. I have been researching flatworms and what to do with them but, there is no information about how to deal with them concerning macroalgae/Caulerpa. What should I do? Should I cut my losses now and throw it away and restart the qt? I don't want to chance getting them in either of my dts.

thats a tuff one cause macro algae is cheap but at the same time is something you bought.

the thread shows some of the flatworm and some of the cures for it I dont know if flatworm exit would harm the macro or not but in this case I think it would be worth a try to get rid of them.
dod you call and let the place where you got it know that it was infested with flatworms. I would be wary of uying stock from them and treat everything as if it had flatworms.
