gotta get rid of them!!!!!!!!!

[clown-lover]

i have red flatworms.....

i've done some researching here and there and i'm trying to figure out the best/easiest way to rid them. right now there are not too many that i can see but i know that there are more in hidding.
should i buy something to eat them that way there are no dead bodies in my tank.
or should i do a FW exit?
i dont' have much in my tank so new livestock would be nice...let me list
YT
b&w clown
blue linkia star
cleaner shrimp
some odd ball small crabs
any suggestions

55 gal tank, i used a six lined wrase but these are hit n miss
fw exit is a good way but dose carefully and prepare fresh salt water....

Velvet nudibranch, but once it has eaten all the flatworms you need to find another tank that has flatworms to go in so they don't starve.
Flatworm exit is good too. Be careful, once it starts killing them they release harmful toxins.

that's another reason that i don't want to use FW exit
what's a hit and miss about a six-line wrasse? will they not always eat flatworms?

Actually if you have a spare 10 gallon you could raise the flat worms and feed th nudibranch and it would be a great addition to the tank..If it doesn't eat all the flatworms it'll have them to eat later
