I need your help here . . .

I have a problem in my tank . . . . and I have literally run out of ideas as to how to solve it.
I have a ployclad flatworm in my tank . . . at least one. It eats every snail that I put into the tank so as a result, i have not had snails in my tank for almost six months. The algae is in check, but I am tired of being the clean up crew. Snails literally have less than a one week life expectancy in my tank.
I need to desparately get this thing out. i have tried physical removal with tweezers only to find that it is barely classifed as a solid. Then I tried to syphon it out with an air line only to have it tear in half.
I am tired of dealing with this thing but I refuse to let it beat me. Any ideas?

Put a Snail in a bowl and hope the Flatworm smells it & goes for it. To keep the snail in the bowl super glue some fishing line to its shell & the center of the bowl.
This sounds harsh, but the sacrifice may save a lot of future snails.

I think that I might just have to give it a shot here. I am totally out of other ideas here. And I agree that the sacrafice would lead him to martydom . . .
