Salifert's Flatworm Exit.
And go back and smack that LFS employee. You can tell him it's from me.

Agreed and agreed (although, it probably did not die from starvation, since it takes about 6 months for a mandarin to truly starve to death).
Flatworms are brutal to get out of a system. I wish you luck. It may take several weeks, so be prepared. You may want to get a few flatworm exits.
When you go back to get the flatworm exit, get some SeaChem's Reef Dip and DIP EVERY CORAL before it goes in your tank from now on!
