How do you get rid of flatworms

I battled flatworms for a number of months...
The best solution is prevention as Burn prescribes... Once infected, I have tried the OTC chemicals which drastically increase your copper, stain your tubes and silicone, and are not a total solution.
I have also tried a phsycadellic gobie and a specific form of nudi...but the solution that I found most effective was the 6 Line Wrasse. Since the introduction to the tank, I have no visible signs of flatworms.
I do believe certain gobies, nudis, and Arrow Crabs may work but you have to find the ones that crave flatworms as a diet.
Thanks.

same as six lined wrasse. They don't always like them either. My manderine eats them= planeria. I had a six line didn't like them. The manderin I have eats formula 1 also. Which is a plus. It won't starve
